Yeah well:

/**
 * enum ssp_interface - interfaces allowed for this SSP Controller
 * @SSP_INTERFACE_MOTOROLA_SPI: Motorola Interface
 * @SSP_INTERFACE_TI_SYNC_SERIAL: Texas Instrument Synchronous Serial
 * interface
 * @SSP_INTERFACE_NATIONAL_MICROWIRE: National Semiconductor Microwire
 * interface
 * @SSP_INTERFACE_UNIDIRECTIONAL: Unidirectional interface (STn8810
 * &STn8815 only)
 */
enum ssp_interface {
        SSP_INTERFACE_MOTOROLA_SPI,
        SSP_INTERFACE_TI_SYNC_SERIAL,
        SSP_INTERFACE_NATIONAL_MICROWIRE,
        SSP_INTERFACE_UNIDIRECTIONAL
};

If that is what you mean then yes. All of the protols are
"SPI type" though.

Yours,
