Grant Likely dc87c98e8f spi: split up spi_new_device() to allow two stage registration. ... spi_new_device() allocates and registers an spi device all in one swoop. If the driver needs to add extra data to the spi_device before it is registered, then this causes problems. This is needed for OF device tree support so that the SPI device tree helper can add a pointer to the device node after the device is allocated, but before the device is registered. OF aware SPI devices can then retrieve data out of the device node to populate a platform data structure. This patch splits the allocation and registration portions of code out of spi_new_device() and creates two new functions; spi_alloc_device() and spi_register_device(). spi_new_device() is modified to use the new functions for allocation and registration. None of the existing users of spi_new_device() should be affected by this change. Drivers using the new API can forego the use of spi_board_info structure to describe the device layout and populate data into the spi_device structure directly. This change is in preparation for adding an OF device tree parser to generate spi_devices based on data in the device tree.
