Thanks for the hint, i missed ar93xx uses the newer SPI driver.

Looking at spi-ath79, the number of CS lines can be modified using platform
data, however all datasheets from ar71xx up to qca956x i could get my hand on
list 3 chipselect lines available - so a patch which sets the CS count to 3
should be sufficient?

I have some other SPI patches waiting to be sent upstream, so I can take care
of that.

Best wishes
David
