The patch

   spi: spidev: Add ACPI probing support

has been applied to the spi tree at

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git 

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [PATCH] spi: spidev: Add ACPI probing support

Some IoT and maker software stacks are using spidev to perform raw access
to the SPI bus instead of relying existing drivers provided by the kernel.
They then implement their own "drivers" in userspace on top of the spidev
raw interface. This is far from being an ideal solution but we do not want
to prevent using mainline Linux in these devices.

Now, it turns out that Windows has similar SPI devices than spidev which
allow raw access on the SPI bus to userspace programs as described in the
link below:

  https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/drivers/spb/spi-tests-in-mitt

These SPI test devices are also meant to be used during development and
testing.

In order to allow usage of spidev for development and testing in Linux, add
those same ACPI IDs to the spidev driver (which is Linux counterpart of the
Windows SPI test devices), but complain loudly so that users know it is not
good idea to use it in production systems. Instead they should be using
proper drivers for peripherals connected to the SPI bus.
