According to [0], a SPI bus should also specify
address-cells/size-cells to allow SPI bus devices to specify a chip
select.
[0] Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-bus.txt

- #address-cells  - number of cells required to define a chip select
address on the SPI bus.
- #size-cells     - should be zero.

The spi-bus document even describes how to mix "native" and gpio CS lines.


I am still not sure what to do with the "pad-select" feature.
Does "pad-select" just select one of 4 dedicated chip select lines?
Or, does it also change which CK/MOSI/MISO lines are used?

Ideally, the same CK/MOSI/MISO signals are sent on all CK/MOSI/MISO
lines enabled by pinctrl, and "pad-select" just chooses which CS_N
line to use.
In this case, we can use the SPI slave device reg value to select
which CS_N to use for any given device.
Furthermore, we can also support using additional cs-gpios.

However, if the pad-select also specifies which CK/MOSI/MISO pins are
used for a given transaction, then supporting cs-gpios becomes a bit
trickier, since the spi slave device would need to specify both which
gpio-cs to use, as well as which SPI pad it is connected to.
