    No need to apologize, thanks for the followup. I'm not terribly
    familiar with SPI internals in Linux so I'm not sure how deep that
    rabbit hole goes. Let me know if you change your mind, I will happily
    whip something else up.

    "The death of spidev" _as a generic interface_.

    A number of our products provide a generic pin header with SPI
    available for customer use. We've been told when we RFC'ed dts files
    to support our platforms that spidev isn't acceptable on these
    headers and the downstream developer must add their own as needed.
    Which, many of our customers use devices that don't have drivers
    anyway, so we still have to assist them in getting spidev functional
    in one way or another. It's just a sore spot for us.
