What's spidev? Not a h/w device...

How is this specific to your board? Presumably, an 'Arduino connector'
is a somewhat standard interface, right? If every board with an Arduino
connector adds a compatible, this doesn't scale.
A connector is what you should be describing, but I imagine it is not
just SPI. Here's some past discussions[1][2] on the need for connector
bindings.
