That's true in some sense but not in the sense of being actually able to
use more than one chip select for a single device.  If the controller
hardware manages the chip selects it may not be physically possible for
it to control more than one chip select.

While it's not an issue for the bindings even hardware that can
physically do it is going to need a driver update (in the core for GPIO
stuff) to do so.
