So, this is intended to be the number of hardware chip selects that can
be configured but the first commit mentioned GPIOs as an option too so
we should at least say that this is specifically the controller
supported ones. However...

...given that we have a fixed bitfield here which we know and doesn't
appear to depend on configuration do we even need this to be
configurable - given that we're going to need an explicit node for any
slave can't we just accept any sane chip select for a slave without
extending the binding?
