Another thing that i recently learnt was that the data pins of many chargers and powerbanks have certain amout of resistance in them that allow them to be a "smart" charger.

Re: Multiple devices on SPI

If you load the driver as a module with modprobe, you can give the module options like which pins to use. Of course the driver has to support that. If you use a current kernel with devicetree and the driver supports devicetree, it might be as simple as giving the correct dt-parm in config.txt. Regar...

Re: device-tree model info

The device tree is always board specific. It replaces the board configuration file from before device tre was a thing.
The device tree describes what device (internal to the SOC or external) is connected to what pin/register and so on.

Re: Multiple devices on SPI

Physically, yes it's possible. Normally you'd just use other GPIOs as CE pins for your display. The problem here will be to convince the driver to use the correct pins. I'm not sure if the CE is handled by the HW SPI controller on the Pi. For example on the AVR based arduinos you do have a hardware ...

You might have to wait a bit before mounting, because the device might not be ready yet. If I remember correctly, udev triggers before actually creating the device node.
