There is no SPI interface to the device. It ended up in the kernel SPI
because old versions of the device firmware listed it in the firmware
tables as SPI and rather than doing the right thing (correcting the
type) the x86 code created an SPI device for it.

At a certain level it may be SPI, but it's all hidden behind the
firmware on the SCU and nothing to do with Linux SPI at all.
