Yes, like 99% of the NAND controllers, but that doesn't mean you can't
support multi-CS chips. All you have to do is attach an array of
ebu_nand_cs to your ebu_nand_chip (as done in the atmel driver I
pointed to). nand_operation.cs tells you which CS (index in your
ebu_nand_cs array) a specific operation is targeting, and you can pick
the right MMIO range/reg value based on that.
