Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] Allow specifying properties with spi_register_board_info

I am trying to convert some input drivers to use only generic device
properties, and get rid of legacy platform data. For that I need to be
able to attach property lists to devices before they are registered, and
quite a few boards use spi_register_board_info() to create their devices.

v3: dropped former patch #2 (spi: allocate spi_board_info entries one by
    one), changed patch #1 to not copy empty property sets and also to
    remove added properties when spi_add_device() fails (when it is
    successful driver core will free properties upon device removal).

v2: change patch #2 from kmemdup to kmalloc + copy as they are different
    data types.

v1: initial posting


Dmitry Torokhov (2):
  spi: allow attaching device properties to SPI board info
  spi: allow registering empty spi_board_info lists
