yes.
for the SPI bus, the of_register_spi_devices() will allocate a spi_device{}
for each child node for the SPI NOR flash. So in the m25p80.c, the @dev points
to a spi_device{}.
For the simplicity, we do not allocate any *_device{} for the child
node in the SPI NOR flash driver, such as in the fsl-quadspi.c.
