Even so we could make the driver operate as if there were multiple
devices. This has the advantage of setting a better example for someone
who might be reading this code as reference, and it might come in handy
if for whatever reason we ever end up with a QSPI controller that does
support multiple chip selects.

If that's overly complicated, maybe a compromise would be to document
very explicitly that this only works because Tegra QSPI supports a
single chip select?
