The kernel build bot found an issue here. There is an 'r' too
much. i.e. we need:

diff --git a/drivers/spi/spi-bcm2835.c b/drivers/spi/spi-bcm2835.c
index be6050b513a9..29445641fff0 100644

 static const struct of_device_id bcm2835_spi_match[] = {

squashed into the original commit. (I had that uncommitted in my tree
while doing my build tests :-\)

@broonie: how should we proceed here? Is your tree already public and
you need a proper patch to fix this?

Best regards
