I have tried these steps:
* altering cape-universaln-00A0.dts by uncommenting every spi2 lines in 
there (I called it universalbbb-00A0.dts).  Created new dtbo.  Copied it to 
/lib/firmware
* Changed uEnv.txt to "cmdline=coherent_pool=1M quiet 
cape_universal=disable"    Trying to load universalbbb in uEnv.txt DOES NOT 
work.
* root@beaglebone:/# echo 'universalbbb' 
> /sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/slots
* I see in dmesg that above fails to config debian pins 100, 101, 103

I tried some other things after above steps to see if I can fix it at 
runtime:
* config-pin manually to spi:
root@beaglebone:/# config-pin P9.29 spi
bash: /sys/devices/platform/ocp/ocp*P9_29_pinmux/state: No such file or 
directory
Cannot write pinmux file: /sys/devices/platform/ocp/ocp*P9_29_pinmux/state
* add cape overlay BB-SPIDEV1
root@beaglebone:/# echo 'BB-SPIDEV1' > 
/sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/slots
bash: echo: write error: File exists

I'm going to have to give up for now as I spent whole day yesterday on 
this.   Need to move on to other stuff but will return.
