+ Hardware limitations related to chip selects:
+ - Native chip selects are always deasserted in
+ between transfers that are part of the same
+ message. Use cs-gpios to work around this.
+ - All slaves using native chip selects must use the
+ same spi-cs-high configuration. Use cs-gpios to
+ work around this.
+ - When using GPIO chip selects, at least one native
+ chip select must be left unused, as it will be
+ driven anyway.
- dmas : Must contain a list of two references to DMA
specifiers, one for transmission, and one for
reception.
