Driver still supports multiple CS but SPI core takes care of
serialization by holding bus_lock_mutex in spi_mem_access_start()

So, I don't see a need for this mutex

is_decoded_cs cannot be supported with spi-mem as this requires
knowlegde of flash geometry which is not available via spi-mem

I don't see any user of decoded-cs in the kernel. So, IMO its okay to
drop entire support in a patch prior to converting driver to spi-mem.

Not really, current driver does:

                        if (!cqspi->rx_chan)
                                cqspi_request_mmap_dma(cqspi);

So, cqspi_request_mmap_dma() is not called again if it succeeds for at
least one flash.
