This is part of the SPI core that looks for SPI devices below a controller.

An SPI device below a controller.

I can't answer that from the top of my head, sorry.

The driver that declares support for it in its acpi_match_table[] array.

The master will be a platform device and again, we're going to add support
for the hotplug of those, but the SPI controllers that we currently can test
it with are not removable.
