[PATCH] spi: Add builtin_spi_driver() to avoid registration boilerplate

From: Paul Gortmaker
Date: Sun Dec 13 2015 - 15:54:19 EST


In commit f309d4443130bf814e991f836e919dca22df37ae ("platform_device:
better support builtin boilerplate avoidance") we introduced the
builtin_driver macro.

Here we use that support and extend it to SPI driver registration, so where
a driver is clearly non-modular and builtin-only, we can register it in a
similar fashion. Existing code that is clearly non-modular can be updated
with the simple mapping of

module_spi_driver(...) ---> builtin_spi_driver(...)

We've essentially cloned the former to make the latter, and taken out the
remove/module_exit parts since those never get used in a non-modular build
of the code.

A similar thing was done in commit b4eb6cdbbd13698704863f680c643c569909e1c2
("PCI: Add builtin_pci_driver() to avoid registration boilerplate").

[I've a drivers/video user of this in my personal testing queue, but
obviously I can't submit that until builtin_spi_driver makes it to
mainline. Since there are no drivers/spi users of it (yet), this
change is sent to the spi list/maintainers on its own.]
