it's clear now, thanks.

I see in the driver that microchip,sam9x60-spi compatible is not yet
used, thus removing the fallback to "microchip,sam9x60-spi" brings no
functional change. Would have made a difference if sam9x60-spi
implemented additional support that sam9x7-spi could have used as a
fallback. If you think that sam9x7-spi will not fallback to sam9x60-spi
in the future then:
