The old text binding lists #address-cells, #size-cells, and num-cs as required properties,
but the converted schema omits all three from the required list, was that intentional?

spi-controller.yaml defines these properties but does not require them, so this silently relaxes
the binding and permits controller nodes without the SPI bus cell declarations.

num-cs was also required by the old binding. It should remain required to preserve the existing binding,
or else the commit message should explain why making it optional and relying on the driver's default of one
is intentional.

One minor nit: please add a space after the comma:

compatible = "ti,keystone-spi", "ti,dm6441-spi";
