I'd dump ppc_sys.c in the place where it puts devices into the bus, and peek into driver_register.
Note that for 8xx, spi normally resides on scc, so you'll have to use ...set_func and ...device_enable() stuff (see in ppc_sys.c for exact prototypes) to have foo-bar-scc:spi or alike registered on bus.
