This split doesn't really work though :/

The PC pins group has MOSI, MISO, CLK and CS0, while the PI pins group
has CS0, CLK, MOSI, MISO and CS1.

Meaning that if a board uses a GPIO CS pin, we can't really express
that, and any board using the PI pins for its SPI bus will try to
claim CS0 and CS1, no matter how many devices are connected on the bus
(and if there's one, there might be something else connected to PI14).

And you can't have a board using CS1 with the PC signals either.

You should split away the CS pins into separate groups, like we're
doing with the A20 for example.

And please add /omit-if-no-ref/ to those groups.

Thanks!
Maxime
