I respectfully disagree. Prior to the fix, your panel's active-low chip select
needed to be described in the devicetree with 'spi-cs-high'. That sounds
very much like a bug to me.

I agree that documentation can be improved here.
Would you like to submit a patch that improves:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-controller.yaml?h=v5.10-rc6#n28
?
This way, we also get Rob Herring involved, which may lead to more elegant
documentation. He is more likely to respond to a patch than to a question.

The reason for that is described in the commit message of
766c6b63aa04 ("spi: fix client driver breakages when using GPIO descriptors")
