The CS node should have #address-cells=2 with the first being CS# and 
the second being the offset (often 0).

Empty ranges is typically wrong and due to laziness...

This should have the CS# in it.

This can be 1 cell with just the offset.

pl172 has several things I don't like, so don't follow it. Mainly those 
are custom CS property and 3 levels of nodes. I'm fine with 3 levels if 
there is more than one device, but otherwise 2 levels with timing 
properties in the child device node.

cs@4,0

1 cell here.

Fill this in to drop the 2nd cell on child addresses and just have the 
offset.

NAK, no custom CS properties.
