Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't know that this is possible.
I just tried like below it and it works like a charm:

 > echo "spidev" > 
/sys/devices/platform/soc@0/30800000.bus/30840000.spi/spi_master/spi2/spi2.0/driver_override
 > echo "spi2.0" > /sys/bus/spi/drivers/spidev/bind

Thanks,
Frieder
