[TROLL PATCH] spi: add option to create spidev nodes for unclaimed chip selects

[Mans Rullgard]

This adds an option to create spidev nodes for any chip selects not
bound to a driver via DT/ACPI.  It probably doesn't play nicely with
modules.

And with pinmux, FWIW ;-)

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.

In my particular case, I can put whatever pinmux I want in the DT and
bring out the SPI signals, but I simply don't know what device will be
connected.
