Do we? I don't think we have. That was among my very first feedback
on this series. Don't use hardcoded partition names for this, but a
phandle. A compatible sounds even better though.

Also, I don't undestand why this property has a cdns prefix. This
can also be relevant for any other SPI controller.

Good point. The cdns, prefix is a mistake.

I agree that this is not Cadence-specific and should be described as a
generic SPI peripheral property. I'll rename it to
spi-phy-pattern-partition and move it under spi-peripheral-props in v4.

Thanks,
Santhosh.
