OK.  Can you describe what this is?  I assume the picture involves an
SPI master device and one or more SPI slave devices, and the ACPI
namespace tells us something about them, and somehow this code is
related to those devices because it's looking at _CRS for them.

A _CRS method is associated with a Device in the namespace.  What is
that device in this case?  What is its PNP ID?  What driver claims
devices with that ID?

I'm not asking about hotplug of devices on an SPI bus.  I'm asking
about hotplug of SPI masters.  For example, let's say you hot-add a
whole node that contains an SPI master.  I assume there's some ACPI
Device node that describes the SPI master, and a hot-add would add a
subtree to the namespace that contains a new SPI master Device.
