No, I'm saying you have this wrong. A unit-address is composed of 
different fields, not different entries of the same field. For 
example, an external parallel bus has a chip select plus address, so the 
unit-address is '<cs>,<addr>'. If you have 2 SPI chip selects, that's 2 
entries of the same thing. The SPI bus is not 2 address cells, but 1 
cell with 2 entries.
