Just noticed this now.
So for device tree, spi-fsl-dspi supports the following compatibles:

fsl,vf610-dspi
fsl,ls1021a-v1.0-dspi
fsl,ls1012a-dspi
fsl,ls1028a-dspi
fsl,ls1043a-dspi
fsl,ls1046a-dspi
fsl,ls2080a-dspi
fsl,ls2085a-dspi
fsl,lx2160a-dspi

Depending on the compatible string, the driver knows whether to use DMA
or XSPI mode, and what the FIFO size is.

Now, of course not all of the above SoCs are going to support ACPI, but
it is reasonable to expect that more than one will. And in that case,
the driver should still be able to know on what SoC it's running,
because for example LS1043A doesn't support DMA, and LS2085A doesn't
support XSPI.

How is this dealt with in ACPI?

Thanks,
