According to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-bus.txt:
  1. "spi-slave" should be a property of the controller node, not of the
     slave node,
  2. the slave node should be called "slave", without unit address, and
     without "reg" property.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
