Oh sorry, I guess you're suggesting we drop SPI_CS_HIGH from
drivers/mfd/motorola-cpcap.c, and not from spi-omap2-mcspi.c..
Too much glög over the holidays probably :)

Anyways, removing SPI_CS_HIGH motorola-cpcap.c also causes
mounting MMC to fail looks like. I wonder if we're missing
of_property_read_bool() for spi-cs-high in spi-omap2-mcspi.c?
