What's spidev? Not a h/w device...

How is this specific to your board? Presumably, an 'Arduino connector' 
is a somewhat standard interface, right? If every board with an Arduino 
connector adds a compatible, this doesn't scale.

A connector is what you should be describing, but I imagine it is not 
just SPI. Here's some past discussions[1][2] on the need for connector 
bindings.
