As you said, I'm not setting a precedence here:

arch/arm/boot/dts/imx28-cfa10049.dts:                   compatible = "rohm,dh2228fv";
arch/arm/boot/dts/rv1108-elgin-r1.dts:          compatible = "rohm,dh2228fv";
arch/arm/boot/dts/socfpga_cyclone5_socdk.dts:           compatible = "rohm,dh2228fv";
drivers/spi/spidev.c:   { .compatible = "rohm,dh2228fv" },

Was just just never documented as binding? Or why is no one allowed to 
use this anymore? What is to be used instead for spidev?

This breaks userspace here, and we would need to carry that node on top.

BTW, I already brought up the topic internally to get you some boards 
for testing.

I've done that and addressed all that I could (former patch 4). We 
import those from k3, and I don't feel confident how to resolve them.
See also v1 of this patch.
