That's unexpected, Mark. Patches received two objections/comments and I
don't think discussion was resolved.

ABB is huge company, probably making hundreds or more of sensors. The
patchset basically claims that all of them work with spidev. It does not
providing any model names or details, so it seems really incomplete to
call them trivial devices.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
