Hi Johan,

OK to that, I was not aware a driver could limit num-cs (I thought it 
could be extended with as many gpios as needed without involving the 
controller driver). I thought of num-cs as a spi subsystem generic thing.

In fact, I was reviewing the setup I mentioned, and even it defines 12 
cs in the controller with no driver complaints, so far only 3 of them 
are mapped to devices (I'll have to review the driver before going any 
futher!)
