This sort of approach is half the reason SPI ended up being so fun...  I
suspect if you look hard enough you'll find that this is just the first
time someone tried to upstream such a scheme.  This is all especially
true for the DT bindings, even if the implementation is driver local for
now it'd be better to define generic bindings.
