Unlike some of the other SoC hardware (interrupt controller) that's
more closely tied to the SH cpu trap behavior, the SPI master seems
like something that would be nice and easy to reuse elsewhere. I don't
feel strongly about it either way though; I can add the arch dep if
you want.

I thought about that but I'm not familiar with it. I can try to figure
it out quickly and test that approach; don't see any reason it
shouldn't work. Would you insist on having full support for
enabling/disabling the clk when it's in use, or would you be happy
with treating it as a fixed clock that's always-on for now and
possibly extending it with more functionality later if there's ever
hardware where that's relevant/helpful?

There will be later, but I can remove this for now if it's not needed.

OK.
