This driver compiles successfully, and I believe all required
definitions are resolved through indirect inclusion. For example, since
I included virtio.h, there is no need to explicitly include device.h,
scatterlist.h or types.h.
I avoided redundant #includes to keep the code clean and minimal.
If there are any essential headers I’ve overlooked, please feel free to
highlight them—I’ll gladly include them in the next revision.

I plan to update the code as follows:
struct virtio_spi_req *spi_req __free(kfree) = NULL;
spi_req = kzalloc(sizeof(*spi_req), GFP_KERNEL);
if(!spi_req)
return -ENOMEM;
This follows the pattern used in
virtio_net(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/virtio_net.c?h=v6.17-rc4#n3746)
I'd like to check if this style is acceptable here, thanks.

I’ve reviewed other SPI drivers in the kernel, and it seems that bus_num
is not a required property in most cases. I’ll remove the related code
in the next revision.
Thanks again.
