To reach higher capacities, arrays of chips are now pretty common.
Unfortunately, most of the controllers have been designed a decade ago
and did not all anticipate the need for several chip-selects. The new
cs-gpios property allows to workaround this limitation by adding as many
GPIO chip-select as needed.

Subject and example have wrong property name.

Can we put some 'maxItems' value here. I want to make the meta-schema 
enforce that. I realize there's not really one here, but a 'should be 
enough' value is fine. We can bump it up if needed.
