Yes - I understand but let me explain my comments.

u-boot> sf probe bus:cs speed mode

Unlike other buses/controllers on u-boot we're dynamically probing the
slave on bus
using bus and cs for example, we have a zynq_spi handling spi0, spi1
(bus's) and each
one has 3 chip-selects. So

u-boot> sf probe 1:1
for probing bus1 (spi1) and cs 1

u-boot> sf probe 0:1
for probing bus0 (spi0) and cs 1

The respective reg base (based on bus) and register chip-select (based
on cs) zynq_spi.c
will handle these in driver it self.

speed and mode settings, I'm fine with dm, where it will configure using

int spi_get_bus_and_cs(int busnum, int cs, int speed, int mode,
                       const char *drv_name, const char *dev_name,
                       struct udevice **devp, struct spi_slave **slavep)
{
.....
ret = spi_set_speed_mode(bus, speed, mode);
......
}

But how can spi-uclass.c will identifies how many bus's along with cs lines does
specified controller driver support.

This what usually we're doing in driver as
int spi_cs_is_valid(unsigned int bus, unsigned int cs)
{
        /* 2 bus with 3 chipselect */
        return bus < 2 && cs < 3;
}

Please let me know if you have any questions, this is what usually
doing most of drivers.
