Right. You asked me to add an explicit:

	res = of_property_count_u32_elems(np, "reg");
	if (res < 0)
		return res;

	if (res != 1)
		return -ENOTSUPP; /* Multi-CS chips are not supported */

I was under the impression that multi-die chips are seen as a single
larger "composite" chip. And I had assumed that different dies would
not only require identical timings, but would also be identical in
all other aspects. This it incorrect?

Regards.
