Hrm.  Should this (and "reg" in the child node) be required for SPI
masters that have only one chip select?

The property name should include something "SPI", it's way too generic
otherwise.

Don't abbr the property names, there's nothing wrong with longer names.
The names shouldn't start with "spi," either, "spi" isn't a vendor;
how about "spi-inverse-clock-polarity" or similar?

This is a temporary workaround I hope?
