Is there some sort of arbitration between multiple offload engines on 
the same chip select? If not, I don't see how it would work.

I think this whole thing could be simplified down to just 3 
SPI controller properties: pwms, dmas, and adi,offload-cs-map. Each 
property is has entries equal the number of offload engines. The last 
one maps an offload engine to a SPI chip-select.

This defines a matrix. You want:

minItems: 1
maxItems: 32
items:
  maximum: 31

(0 is already the min).

No fake examples please. This should give you a warning.
