With this commit the DSPI driver on the BK4 board can be used for SPI

Hi Lukasz,
I tried submitting a similar patch for another devicem but got no reaction [1]. In the meanwhile, there has been another proposal [2] which moves handling of this into userspace via udev. You might want to take a look at that mechanism instead (and perhaps send your Tested-by tag). It has worked well for me.
