CS selector?

It'd be nice if you gave a ref. into the datasheet where I can find such 
information.

According to table 12-36 and 37.4 , EMI has two CE lines max (CE0N and CE1N). If 
CE1 is not present on the smaller package, it's not a problem, since whenever 
asserted, the MUX won't let the signal go further. Moreover, the CE line is 
asserted only when particular memory area is accessed.

Thus, CS_MAP shall be 0x3 in default setup.

btw. this patch is misconfiguring INTAREF field which is not documented in the 
commit message.

Best regards,
