This last part is a little odd, but understandable I guess.

So how about the following patch? It seems like we'll need to be able to
ignore useless 'modalias' values in cases like this:

	// modalias = "shinynewdevice"
	compatible = "myvendor,shinynewdevice", "jedec,spi-nor";

and also if somebody leaves off the entire shinynewdevice string:

	// modalias = "spi-nor"
	compatible = "jedec,spi-nor";

So we rework the spi-nor library to not reject "bad" names, and just
fall back to autodetection, and we add the .of_match_table to properly
catch all "jedec,spi-nor".
