Can't load module spi_mpc83xx : No such device

[Dushara Jayasinghe]

Hi All,

I modified the spi_mpc83xx to work with the device tree using mpc52xx_psc_spi.c as a guide. 
However, the device->dev->platform_data member is NULL (I thought the child node would provide that). 
What am I missing?

I'm trying to create the SPI driver as a loadable module which will be used by the m25p80 chip driver (drivers/mtd/devices) which also will be a loadable module. Am I on the right track?

Could you elaborate on this point please? I couldn't find any examples of gpios defined within SPI nodes.

Thanks again.
