In current spi core, spi_register_info() has to be
called before the spi controller driver call spi_register_master(),
then these board info will be matched and used to create a new
spi device.

But if spi_register_info() are called after its related spi master
is registered, then these info will be ignored and never get to
create a new spi device.

This is the "order limit" I want to describe :)
