SO just glancing at the code here:
https://github.com/derekmolloy/exploringBB/blob/master/chp08/spi/spi595Example/spi595.c

I notice in fact he does have the path hard coded for the device: #define
SPI_PATH "/dev/spidev1.0"

So, after checking to make sure the spidev kernel module has loaded through
your overlay files, and in fact it's configured correctly for this kernel.
I'd double check the above path is actually still pointing to the correct
hardware SPI module you're trying to use.
