Hi Mark,

Thanks for your review.

Most of the comments have been modified. and the v4 has been sent
to the maillist, as has the KDDV (Kernel Device Driver Verfication)
test framework based on python unittests.

Looking forward for your comments.

Thanks.

When register the spi controller, we need to specify the maximun
number of chips. Modify it to U16_MAX in next version.
