You've got things like s3c64xx_device_spi0 in arch/arm/plat-samsung/devs.c (which you'd expect since the resources that are passed in for memory mapping, DMA and interrupt vary with the SoC). The bit of code I was querying just changes "s3c64xx-spi" to "s3c6410-spi" at runtime in that structure which seems like a waste of time.
