[PATCH v1] riscv: dts: starfive: remove non-existant spi device from jh7110-common.dtsi

[Conor Dooley]

There is no rohm,dh2228fv on any of supported JH7110 boards - in fact
the dh2228fv almost certainly does not exist as it is not a valid Rohm
part number. Likely a typo by Maxime when adding the device originally,
and should have been bh2228fv, but these boards do not have a bh2228fv
either! Remove it from jh7110-common.dtsi - pretending to have a device
so that the spidev driver will be bound by Linux is not acceptable.

Hi Conor,

This patch is correct, but as you mention the fake device was most likely added
in order to use spidev from userspace with random devices added on the exposed
pins. In case someone actually makes use of this wouldn't this be a regression?
What is the right way to support this?

Unfortunately, there's no "right way" that's supported for for this
particular case. If people want to use spidev for their device, they
should either document it in the bindings, add the compatible to the
spidev driver and use an overlay to add the device to the dts or they
can r bind the spidev driver to the device from userspace.

The other thing, which doesn't exist yet, is a connector binding. The
folks are Beagle are currently working on creating a connector binding
for the Mikrobus connector - but that's rather far from complete at the
moment.

Cheers,
Conor.

I see. Thanks for the explanation. At least now there is this thread
any potential users might find.
