I don't think it has been approved, but it's used already in several
places:

arch/arm/boot/dts/spear1340-evb.dts:496:                                        compatible = "spidev";
arch/arm/boot/dts/spear1310-evb.dts:402:                                        compatible = "spidev";
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx28-tx28.dts:623:           compatible = "spidev";
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx28-tx28.dts:629:           compatible = "spidev";
arch/arm/boot/dts/atlas6-evb.dts:32:                                    compatible = "spidev";
arch/arm/boot/dts/marco-evb.dts:41:                                     compatible = "spidev";
arch/arm/boot/dts/tegra30-colibri-eval-v3.dts:78:                       compatible = "spidev";
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx53-tx53.dtsi:173:          compatible = "spidev";
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx53-tx53.dtsi:179:          compatible = "spidev";
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/mgcoge.dts:235:                                   compatible = "gen,spidev";
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/o2d.dtsi:43:                              compatible = "spidev";
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/digsy_mtc.dts:34:                         compatible = "spidev";

Usually this binding gets denied with "spidev is Linux specific. Use a
specific compatible instead". This had the result that the spidev driver
now matches to "rohm,dh2228fv" and I have already seen people claiming
that their spi device is a "rohm,dh2228fv" just to let the spidev driver
match.

Maybe the reasoning for a spidev binding could be:

There is a SPI device, but we don't know what it is, so we just call it
"spidev". Linux just tries to make the best from the situation and makes
a userspace device from it.
