Subject: [PATCH 1/3] spi: spidev: fix the check for spidev in dt

The check is supposed to warn about spidev specified directly in
devicetree as compatible. This just does not work. I have a devicetree
with no compatible whatsoever and hacked my kernel so I can manually
bind spidev. This still triggers.

Also I have no idea how this could have build with ! CONFIG_OF since the
id table which the code checks is not compiled then.
