Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH v3 3/3] SPI: Add virtio SPI driver.
Hello Haixu,
I was on vacation, therefore no immediate answer. I should not forget to
set an OOO reply before going to vacation.

I've a udev rule 50-spi-virtio.rules installed which does the job:
# Bind spi-virtio device spiB.C to user mode SPI device /dev/spidevB.C
# Requires spi driver_override sysfs entry (Linux version 4.20+ and later)

There are no other kernel changes.
However for ancient Linux 4.14 there is no udev rule and the board_info
looks, there
.modalias = "spidev", /* Must be "spidev" for user mode SPI */
but this is only for old kernels we're still using in some setup and
this is irrelevant at latest with 5.14.14 where was a documentation
update of Documentation/spi/spidev.rst.
