Hi David,

I am (finally!) getting around to doing v2 of this series, and I ran
into a small problem with your proposed solution.

For backwards compatibility, the default bus for CS 1 on gqspi must be 1
and not 0. Ideally there would be some hook for the master to fix things
up when the slaves are probed, but that doesn't seem to exist. I was
thinking about doing this with OF changesets. Do you have any better
ideas?
