Yes, that's only possible if all the SPI drivers are fixed first to make
sure that all have a proper OF device ID table and will report a modalias
if we change the core to report a OF modalias uevent.
And we also need to fix all the Device Trees to have a proper compatible
string "foo,bar" instead of just using "bar" and assume that the SPI core
will report a MODALIAS="spi:bar" even for OF.
I was able to change this for I2C after commit af503716ac14 ("i2c: core:
report OF style module alias for devices registered via OF)" but it was
a considerable amount of effort.
For the whole series:
