Subject: [PATCH] SPI: spidev: Add DT compatible string for spidev driver.

From: [email-masked] (Martin Fuzzey)
Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:56:21 +0200

The spidev driver is useful to allow userspace access
to SPI devices that have no kernel SPI driver.

However DT requires a compatible tree to allow the driver
to be probed.

To avoid having to modify the driver for every extra device
add a generic "linux,spidev" compatible string that may be
used in the DT to match such devices.
