Hi Colin

Please fix your subject line for the next version. vN should of been
v1. The number is important so we can tell revisions apart.

Please split this patch up. The DT overlay will probably be merged via
ARM SOC, not netdev. You also need to document the device tree
binding, as a separate patch.

I'm surprised all the ports are disabled. I could understand that for
a DTSI file, but a DTS overlay?

C style comments please.

This function seems out of place. Why would SPI access change what the
ports are capable of doing? Please split this up into more
patches. Keep the focus of this patch as being adding SPI support.
