There is no mainline driver, no.  There might be one in the DENX kernel
tree.

Patchwork was updated to a new version recently and the old one was either
taken offline or moved elsewhere.  The set of patches that added Yosemite
didn't include an SPI driver (I know, I wrote them).  I just enumerated
the device in the DTS because it's on the board.
