Some Device Trees don't use a real device name in the compatible string for SPI devices nodes, abusing the fact that the spidev driver name is used to match as a fallback when a SPI device ID table is not defined. But since commit6840615f85("spi: spidev: Add SPI ID table") a table for SPI device IDs was added to the driver breaking the assumption that these DTs were relying on. There has been a warning message for some time since commit956b200a84("spi: spidev: Warn loudly if instantiated from DT as "spidev""), making quite clear that this case is not really supported by the spidev driver. Since these devices won't match anyways after the mentioned commit, there is no point to continue if an spidev compatible is used. Let's just make the driver probe to fail early.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
