  I don't think a consensus related to "custom property" was reached
last time around. I was aiming to fix all other review comments first
and leave the "details" at the end.

 I still think is a good idea to have some custom properties that will
impact only a certain range of devices and leave the user to
decide/choose how to use that configuration setting (to better suite
his needs). If the application doesn't recognize the property it will
be configured with the default value and it should not broke anything.

If we decide that we need to take out the custom properties, then I
could move some of them into the Device Tree.

I think in case of a single device on bus, we could avoid using the
spi-mux.

 All other supply (like AVdd, DVdd etc) for this particular chip
doesn't have any direct impact (way of working, resolution, any
configuration setup), so I'm not sure if we need to add anything more
here.
