spidev instantiated from DT
Hi Geert,
Thanks for your clarification.
So the rationale is to keep fixed the HW description (that make sense). If a "generic" driver is required, the specific device compatible statement shall be added in spidev like:
{ .compatible = "lineartechnology,ltc2488" },And if later a more specific driver will be available, the previous line shall be removed.
Can you please confirm my understanding?
Bye.

That's correct.
Of course we prefer having a specific driver ;-)
