Public bug reported:
[Impact]
Current 4.15 raspi2 kernel emits the following warnings when the spidev driver
is loaded:
kernel: [ 2.957689] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 34 at
/build/linux-raspi2-xwwT5i/linux-raspi2-4.15.0/drivers/spi/spidev.c:738

kernel: [ 4.525991] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 34 at

spidev_probe+0x13c/0x1f8
[Test Case]
Boot 4.15 raspi2 kernel on a Pi 2/3 and load the spidev modules
[Fix]
This warning is triggered by an upstream change that wants a compatible
(HW) string which is a questionable requirement for a generic driver.
Caused a lot of upstream discussion with the end result that the raspi
people disabled the warning in their kernel. We do the same on our newer
kernels so lets backport that fix to 4.15.
[Regression Potential]
Changes are confined to the spidev module and only silence a warning. No
negative side-effects are expected.
