Well, the first thing that comes to my mind is that the DT property may
need to be  to the SPI device node and not the controller anymore, for a
need of coherency.
That would imply modifying the binding and I don't want that for such an
useless "improvement".

Please only fix the avr32 issue with CS gpio selection that I admit we
have. I don't need nor want to mix CS types: it just doesn't make sense
to allow it.
