It looks mostly fine, however, please try to make only one thing in
one patch.

In this case, it would mean having one patch to add the DT property
and support in the SPI core in a first one, and then add support for
it in your driver.

I also have a minor comment below....

Logging it at the info loglevel seems a bit too high. debug seems more
appropriate.
