So, how to handle the MkcroBus connector? Any suggestion for following?
&dspi2 {
        bus-num = <2>;
        status = "okay";

        /* MikcroBus1 */
        spi@0 {
                compatible = "mikcroe,mikcroe-socket";
                reg = <0>;
                spi-max-frequency = <2000000>;
                fsl,spi-cs-sck-delay = <1000000>;
                fsl,spi-sck-cs-delay = <50>;
        };
};
