Take drivers/spi/spi-imx.c for example, if you connect a NOR to it, you only
need to add a NOR device node in the device tree. In the probe, it will call
the m25p80.c to probe the NOR device.

But if we connect other device to it. you should set another device node for it.

I am not sure if your controller driver can works as the spi-imx.c
