These properties should be device independent and instead
controller-dependent. At least some of them (that's why CPHA/CPOL was
moved away and maybe the same we need to do with spi-3wire, spi-cs-high,
spi-lsb-first).

My approach here is no different than other subsystems. Take a look at
regulator - we allow all regulator.yaml properties, even though several
are not applicable (e.g. current for voltage regulators) and for sure no
tested.

Best regards,
