It's not a DAC. It's really an unpopulated pin header. I would have
really liked to have access to that as a char device with the default
board DTS, via spidev. That being said, there are warnings to not use
the "spidev" compatible in device trees. So if what I want is not
possible, I'd rather drop the patch altogether.
