Using '_make nconfig_' I selected the following options:

DesignWare hard SPI controllers. BUT the SPI controllers I'm concerned
with now are soft controllers defined in the FPGA code)_.

This got the SPI nodes to show up in _/sys/firmware/devicetree/_ but
there were no _udev_ files (_/dev/spidevXX_). So I commented out the
'_interrupts_' in the DTSI file and the _udev_ files appeared?
spi2: spi@0xc00c0800 { // hps_spi_1553_int
address-cells = <0x1>;
#size-cells = <0x0>;
reg = <0xc00c0800 0x20>;
// interrupt-parent = <&intc>;
// interrupts = <0 24 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;
num-cs = <0x1>;
status = "okay";
spidev@0 {
compatible = "rohm,dh2228fv";
#address-cells = <0x1>;
#size-cells = <0x0>;
reg = <0x0>;
spi-max-frequency = <0x1f400>;
// enable-dma = <0x1>;
};
};
BUT I need those interrupts. Thoughts and/or suggestions?

Hello John,
It seems that your target is configured correctly. Since you have all
the components you should and must have as SPI framework.
Namely I was looking for /sys/bus (since you must have an SPI bus
driver), and then /sys/class (since as my best understanding is that
SPI is a master/slave device), you must have class/). Others are
assumed, you added debug directories.
When I separately build spidev.c as an .ko and try
loading it, I get: "Device or resource busy"
This is understandable, since you already have included spidev.ko as
menuconfig value Y, so it is already present in the kernel, but as a
built-in part of the kernel (my best guess).
root@arria10:~# lsmod
Module Size Used by
spi_altera 16384 0
spidev 20480 0
I see that you did change the menuconfig, and made spidev to be M.
What I also see is that there are no dependencies between spidev and
spi_altera. This is what you really wanted?
But there are NO udev files for the SPI devices
defined in the DTSI file.
Could you, please, better explain this sentence? In more details (as
much as you can)?
Thank you,
Zee

In the YOCTO/Linux source tree there's drivers/spi/ which has all the source

int status;

}
module_init(spidev_init);
... for creating device files in udev.
So when I use 'make nconfig' to specifiy that I want a loadable module for the
ALTERA SPI driver, why don't I see a spidev.o file in drivers/spi/ ?
How does spi-altera.ko create device files without a call to
register_chrdev(...).
How is it a loadable module without module_init(...)?
When I separately build spidev.c as an .ko and try loading it, I get: "Device or
resourse busy"
