Xilinx Controller drivers that support multi cs are registered under 
spi-mem framework. So even if I modify the pinmux the chip selection 
will not go through the SPI core. 
So, we cannot test the CS GPIO changes in SPI core on our platforms.

Agreed, will update the loop condition as per num_cs.

After fixing the else if indentation we will get here if either one of the
 CS support gpiod or both the CS support set_cs. Yes, one is using set_cs() 
and the other one is gpiod use case handling is missing. I need to iterate 
over the CS’s to find the CS GPIO, call gpiod_set_value_cansleep ( ) and 
then call set_cs( ). In the set_cs( ) driver API the driver needs to first check 
if any of the cs_index_mask enabled CS's is not a CS GPIO and then enable 
only the non-gpio CS. 
Please let me your thoughts on this approach.

True, I will add a check to avoid extra delay.

Agreed, will update the logic.

That’s true, I will add a loop and check for each of the cs_index_mask

Yes, it can be a SPI_XX flag as well. I will add a flag & remove this 
structure member.

It is not just about handling the CS's, but rather this flag indicates 
that the controller can communicate (reading & writing data) with 
both the devices simultaneously.
