Merge series "spi: Adding support for software nodes" from Heikki Krogerus <heikki.krogerus@linux.intel.com>:

Hi,

The older API used to supply additional device properties for the
devices - so mainly the function device_add_properties() - is going to
be removed. The reason why the API will be removed is because it gives
false impression that the properties are assigned directly to the
devices, which has actually never been the case - the properties have
always been assigned to a software fwnode which was then just directly
linked with the device when the old API was used. By only accepting
device properties instead of complete software nodes, the subsystems
remove any change of taking advantage of the other features the
software nodes have.

The change that is required from the spi subsystem and the drivers is
trivial. Basically only the "properties" member in struct
spi_board_info, which was a pointer to struct property_entry, is
replaced with a pointer to a complete software node.

thanks,
