Sorry for the very late reply, I intend to address the review comments
soon.

Native chip selects are used for QSPI. I don't think GPIO CS make sense
for this kind of QSPI controller that provides memory-mapped access to
SPI flash.

The muxing configures a pullup on the reset pin to ensure that a
connected flash chip is not held in reset. However, the signal is
marked as optional in the schematics, and on all SoMs I have here the
flash reset is wired to the board reset instead of this SoC GPIO.

Still, configuring the pullup seems like a good idea to me, in case
hardware variants with the optional signal actually exist - there
shouldn't be any downsides, as the pin is either unconnected or wired
to the flash reset.

I guess I could additionally add an input hog to ensure that the pin
cannot be changed?

The SION bit in the pad configuration seems to be a mistake, I'll
remove it.
