I just happened to take a look at include/linux/spi/tle62x0.h
when I was working on my header-test feature of Kbuild.

Then, I asked this in ML, and Arnd was positive
for deleting this.

IMHO, stale code should be cleaned away periodically.

Yet, if you are happy with keeping this driver,
that is fine.

If we could get comments from Ben Books,
that would be helpful.
