[PATCH v2] spidev: Introduce "linux,spidev-name" property for device tree of spidev.

[egyszeregy@xxxxxxxxxxx]

From: Benjamin Szőke <egyszeregy@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Optionally, spidev may have a "linux,spidev-name" property.
This is a string which is defining a custom suffix name for spi device in
/dev/spidev-<name> format. It helps to improve software portability between
various SoCs and reduce complexities of hardware related codes in SWs.
