Hi David, Grant,

This actually brings up another topic: currently spi_register_board_info()
has to be called before spi controller(master) get inited. But in some
case, to solve some device dependency issue, some spi slave device need
be delayed registering, can we adjust it to make register_board_info()
be callable after spi controller is inited? Which makes spi bus like
general pci/usb bus, where devices/drivers have no registering order limit.

Thanks,
Feng
