The nCS line is not part of the platform data. It is part of the spi
board info. There are three elements in the platform data after the
re-factoring which is used on only non-dt platforms - (a) the clock
source number to be selected as the bus clock in the spi controller's
clock mux, (b) the number of nCS lines emulated by the controller and
(c) the gpio setup callback function. With device tree, all this
information is obtained from the device tree.

Thanks,
Thomas.
