With platform_get_irq as it is today, the check in

	irq = platform_get_irq(pdev, 0);
	if (!irq)
		return -EINVAL;

is non-sense as !irq always evaluates to 0.  If your argue that the
resources are right, then the logical consequence is to strip down
plat_mpc8xxx_spi_probe to just

	struct spi_master *master;
	master = mpc8xxx_spi_probe(&pdev->dev,
		platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0)
		platform_get_irq(pdev, 0));
	if (IS_ERR(master))
		return PTR_ERR(master);
	return 0;

Best regards
Uwe
