That's exactly what I'm saying. We never match using the node name
(which is always 32-bit "string" like "SPI0"). For PRP0001 match to
succeeed you need to have "compatible" property.

The ASL code looks like:

        Device (SPID) {
                Name (_HID, "PRP0001")

                Name (_CRS, ResourceTempate () {
                        SpiSerialBus (1, PolarityLow, FourWireMode, 0x08,
                            ControllerInitiated, 0x007A1200, ClockPolarityLow,
                            ClockPhaseSecond, "\\_SB.SPI1",
                            0x00, ResourceConsumer)
                })

                Name (_DSD, Package () {
                    ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
                    Package () {
                        Package () {"compatible", "rohm,dh2228fv"},
                    }
                })
        }

Without the "compatible" property you get a warning from ACPI core:

  \_SB.SPI1.SPID requires 'compatible' property

and it will not match anything.
