Heh.

I'd convert them for you if they were in-tree. :-) But I don't
think that moving the kernel backwards because of out-of-tree
boards is a good thing.

Something like this will work:

		spi at 4c0 {
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <0>;
			cell-index = <0>;
			compatible = "fsl,spi";
			reg = <0x4c0 0x40>;
			interrupts = <2>;
			interrupt-parent = <&qeic>;
			/* provide chip-selects here */
			gpios = <&qe_pio_d 13 0   /* CS0 */
				 &qe_pio_d 14 0>; /* CS1 */
			mode = "cpu-qe";

			device at 0 {
				compatible = "spidev";
				reg = <0>; /* CS0*/
				spi-max-frequency = <50000000>;
			};

			device at 0 {
				compatible = "spidev";
				reg = <1>; /* CS1 */
				spi-max-frequency = <50000000>;
			};
		};

You can look at arch/powerpc/boot/dts/mpc832x_rdb.dts as an
example.

Note that "spidev" isn't correct compatible entry to use,
but it's quick and dirty solution. A proper solution is to
add a proper compatible entry into the device-tree, and
add "spidev" alias into drivers/of/base.c:of_modalias_table.
