When generating MODALIASes, it is convenient to add things like "spi:"
or "i2c:" to the front of the strings. This allows the standard
modprobe to find the right driver when automatically populating bus
children from the device tree structure.
Add a prefix parameter, and adjust callers. For
of_register_spi_devices() use the "spi:" prefix.

Applied, thanks. Some notes below...
Wait... why is this necessary?
Because in of_register_spi_devices() in of_spi.c, you do:
request_module(spi->modalias);
The string passed to request_module() must have the "spi:" prefix.
How about modifying the call to request_module() to include the prefix
also? I think that would be a simpler change overall. Would that
work?
It seems to. I just sent such a patch in a new thread.
