Indeed, I do not (and I should have known better...).

In my particular case of a microcontroller acting as an SPI "relay" on the
evaluation board, what would be the best way to describe it? It connects
the two SPI controllers of the SoC, one is a host and one is a target, so
it behave as an SPI target on one side and as an SPI host on the other.

The trivial devices bindings seems to be dedicated to devices, thus not for
SPI hosts. Do I need a dedicated binding or did I miss something I could
use for a trivial spidev slave?
