IMHO using spi as node name is incorrect because this inherits the
assumption to connect 'normal' spi devices to these controllers. But
this is absolutly not the case since in most cases the qspi controllers
are state-machines optimized for qspi memory devices. So all dts(i)
files using spi as node name are incorrect IMHO. But we can't change
that due to the backward compability.

Why? There is no _mainline_ imx7s devicetree using this node currently.
I would drop the number since we have only one instance.
