dt-bindings: gpio: fairchild,74hc595: Document chip select vs. latch clock
From looking at the data sheets, it is not obvious that CS# and latch clock can be treated at the same, but doing so works fine and saves the hassle of (1) trying to specify a SPI device without CS, and (2) adding another property to drive the latch clock[1].

title: Generic 8-bit shift register
88

9+
description: |
10+
NOTE: These chips nominally don't have a chip select pin. They do however
11+
have a rising-edge triggered latch clock (or storage register clock) pin,
12+
which behaves like an active-low chip select.
13+
14+
After the bits are shifted into the shift register, CS# is driven high, which
15+
the 74HC595 sees as a rising edge on the latch clock that results in a
16+
transfer of the bits from the shift register to the storage register and thus
17+
to the output pins.
