OK, then maybe change the commit log to:
The SPI controller platform devices should be compiled in
independent of the driver support, otherwise we might end up
with dev-spi built as kernel module.
So now every machine that has some SPI device should select
S3C64XX_DEV_SPI. Currently there is no such machine in mainline
yet.
