Not sure it makes sense to take 3 without 4.

Yes but that only tells you how many you are using. The binding should
describe the hardware and so should tell us how many chip-selects we
have. We should get away from using GPMC_CS_NUM in the code.

What about wait-pins?

Please feel free to submit a patch.

Thanks.

Well maybe there should be some reference?

Ok.

No problem.
