"default: no-cs" and drop the text about the default, but there's some
pretty interesting comments from Sashiko about #daisy-chained-devices
(used for ad7944), although I'm not sure how that'd work for the
two-channel-chain case.

I'd also really appreciate a dts example for a system
with one-channel-chain or two-channel-chain looks, given the second
device may require different supplies etc. I have no impression in my
head of how the dt would be constructed, so I'd like to see wht you have
in mind.
