The SPI of_alias was used as an index into the fifo_lvl_mask to determine the FIFO depth of the SPI node. Changing the alias ID into the device tree would make the driver choose a wrong FIFO size configuration, if not accessing past the fifo_lvl_mask array boundaries. Not specifying an SPI alias would make the driver fail to probe, which is also wrong. We now have the infrastructure to correctly determine the FIFO size. SoCs that use the same FIFO size across all the instances of the SPI IP shall infer the FIFO size from the compatible, thus by setting ``s3c64xx_spi_port_config.fifosize``. SoCs that have instances of the SPI IP with different FIFO sizes shall specify the FIFO size to each SPI device tree node by using the ``samsung,spi-fifosize`` property. Mark fifo_lvl_mask as deprecated.
