I verified right now, for a full switch i should enable CONFIG_DM for 
the architecture, and then select CONFIG_DM_SPI, moving as his child
the CONFIG_CF_SPI.

To enable CONFIG_DM for m68k means to add device tree, or there are 
of_xxx functions unresolved externals errors then.

For this small architecture, i am not that happy to add the devicetree
support. I should add a fixed 30 KB of binary size and several diffent
families/dtsi, with the benefit to configure mainly uart and spi.

If the devicetree become mandatory/forced, would be nice if you could accept
the migration as is (as from doc/driver-model/spi-howto.txt), and i could
then work on devicetree in a later step.

Let me know.
