v3:
- In SPI slave mode, represent the (single) slave device again as a
child of the controller node, which is now optional, and must be
named "slave" if present,
- Split slave node properties in master mode, slave mode, and common
properties,
v2:
- Do not create a child node in SPI slave mode. Instead, add an
"spi-slave" property, and put the mode properties in the controller
node.
