Does it need to be DMA-capable?

Nowadays these require API calls instead of direct assignments.

Is it possible to unload the module without releasing the device node?

Same question about DMA.

Can also be written in more usual way:
if (ret)
return ret;
...
return 0;

DMA?

Setter APIs.

Ditto.

Hmm... Shouldn't SPI core take care of this in a generic way? Yes, I
understand that you need the number for the allocation, but I would
expect something like spi_fw_get_num_cs() to exist (seems not?).

Use device_set_node(). It helps to modify the data types beneath.
