Hi, I've a feeling everyone in this thread is ignoring the raspberry pi use-case. Where the board is specifically designed for educational purposes and used with lots of peripherals which are usually programmed from userspace using e.g. python bindings for i2c-dev or spidev, for such a setup we really want spidev to be loaded on the spibus by default and we really do not have a proper compatible for a child device. And no having to use per device devicetree overlays for this is not the answer, this needs to be really really easy. With pre device-tree kernels this just works, we should be able to match that ease of use with devicetree.
