What I see is Kconfig is first and Makefile is second file in diff,
according to:
  drivers/spi/Kconfig            |  11 +
  drivers/spi/Makefile           |   1 +
Is that wrong?

This is because this driver was tested only on FPGA board.
This driver was not tested for ASIC version as PHY
initialization algorithm is differ.
