#22122: PowerPC/Freescale/NXP build for P1020 based board gives warning message 
and
register dump on kernel boot
---------------------------+------------------------
 Reporter:  jeclark2006@…  |      Owner:  developers
     Type:  defect         |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal         |  Milestone:
Component:  packages       |    Version:  Trunk
 Keywords:                 |
---------------------------+------------------------
 The driver for the Linux-4.4.6 kernel supplied with the 'trunk' source
 code, gives the following message when the eSPI driver is initialized.

 Kernel boot printk's...

 ----
 spidev spi32766.0: buggy DT: spidev listed directly in DT
 ----

 Upon looking into this apparently this diagnostic was added for some
 reason which seems to be impossible to find.

 In any case, the 'solution' that was proposed in one of the messages I
 found discussing the problem was to 'modify the driver' to accept the spi
 device in question... which in my opinion corrupts the whole business of
 the Device Tree, and no other description was give on how to correct the
 Device Tree to match someone's expectation of what it should be.
