Currently autoloading for SPI devices does not use the DT ID table, it uses SPI modalises. Supporting OF modalises is going to be difficult if not impractical, an attempt was made but has been reverted, so this series adds SPI IDs where they aren't provided for a given modalias.
Yes, that's only possible if all the SPI drivers are fixed first to make sure that all have a proper OF device ID table and will report a modalias if we change the core to report a OF modalias uevent.
And we also need to fix all the Device Trees to have a proper compatible string "foo,bar" instead of just using "bar" and assume that the SPI core will report a MODALIAS="spi:bar" even for OF.
I was able to change this for I2C after commit af503716ac14 ("i2c: core: report OF style module alias for devices registered via OF)" but it was a considerable amount of effort.
For the whole series:
