6.8 SPI Chip Select Regression

Hi Amit,

I finally got around to testing 6.9-rc2. I must've missed testing
6.8, however, because it seems there are issues - at least in my device
tree - with commit: 4d8ff6b0991d "spi: Add multi-cs memories support in SPI core"

I'm running on a BeagleBone Black, and have a single MFD attached to CS
0. At boot, I see the following:

[ 3.459990] omap2_mcspi 48030000.spi: chipselect 0 already in use
[ 3.466135] spi_master spi0: spi_device register error /ocp/interconnect@48000000/segment@0/target-module@30000/spi@0/soc@0
[ 3.477495] spi_master spi0: Failed to create SPI device for /ocp/interconnect@48000000/segment@0/target-module@30000/spi@0/soc@0

Is this a known issue? Is there anything I either might need to do to a
device tree, or something you might suggest to help troubleshoot this?
