[PATCH] spi: Add option to bind spidev to all chipselects
From: Michal Suchanek
Date: Wed May 13 2015 - 05:34:52 EST
Bypass the check if CS is in use for spidev devices if CONFIG_SPIDEV_SHADOW is
set. Rename spidev devices to avoid sysfs conflict.
This allows dynamically loading SPI device overlays or communicating
with SPI devices configured by a kernel driver from userspace.

+ This creates a spidev device node for every chipselect.

+ It is possible to access even SPI devices which are in use by a
