[PATCH 1/3] of_spi: add generic binding support to specify ncs gpio in the slave

@@ -21,9 +21,16 @@ assumption that board specific platform code will be used to manage
 chip selects.  Individual drivers can define additional properties to
 support describing the chip select layout.
 
+If a gpio a specified to the SPI slave and no hardware chip select is present
+the reg property #address-cells and #size-cells are not needed.
+
+When use the ncs-gpio the gpio number will be passed via the controller_data
+and the number of chip select will automatically increased.
+
 SPI slave nodes must be children of the SPI master node and can
 contain the following properties.
-- reg             - (required) chip select address of device.
+- reg             - (required if no ncs-gpio) chip select address of device.
+- ncs-gpio        - (required if no reg) chip select gpio of device.
 - compatible      - (required) name of SPI device following generic names
     		recommended practice
 - spi-max-frequency - (required) Maximum SPI clocking speed of device in Hz
