Are you sure this isn't just a pinmux problem, i.e. the bootloader
initializes the pinmux for hardware CS only on one device and not the other?

See spi3_pins in the DTS in our downstream tree (and the reference from
the SPI controller). If the rest of the SPI pins are already working
properly you can just try with the CS pin (same index as on the gpio
spec). Ideally we'd list the 4 pins, but someone needs to reverse
engineer the mapping with m1n1 gpiola since we don't know what it is.

If it really doesn't work with native CS and proper pinmux then cs-gpios
on the controller should work. If it doesn't something weird is going on
elsewhere. There's only one CS line, needing both makes no sense.
