Mark, could you take a look at this SPI binding change when you have time?

I don't want to apply it without your view on whether this makes sense
from a general SPI point of view as we all hate maintaining bindings
if they turn out to not be sufficiently future looking etc and we need
to deprecate them in favour of something else.
