Total ACK.  From my perspective, probing should be off by default because the
typical use case in powerpc land is to trust data in the device tree.  Add the
property to turn on probing, not to turn it off.  Also, you'll need to
document the semantics of such a property.  ie. what exactly does it
mean when the probing property is present and the spi bus node has child
nodes?
