My intention is to use the spidev driver in the default board DT for an
interface that is routed to an extension connector and has no dedicated
slave device attached onboard. So users can attach sensors, etc. with
userspace drivers without touching the kernel or DT.

See https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11639075/ for the boards DT.
