Since spidev is a detail of how Linux controls a device rather than a
description of the hardware in the system we should never have a node
described as "spidev" in DT, any SPI device could be a spidev so this
is just not a useful description.
In order to help prevent users from writing such device trees generate a
warning if spidev is instantiated as a DT node without an ID in the match
table.
