From: Enrico Weigelt <info@metux.net>

Add more helper macros for trivial driver init cases, similar to the
already existing module_spi_driver()+friends - now for those which
are initialized at other stages (eg. by subsys_initcall()).

This helps to further reduce driver init boilerplate.

I'm not convinced we want to be encouraging anyone to be using
subsys_initcall() for SPI drivers in the first place - my guess would be
that with deferred probing none of that is needed anyway and the driver
could just use module_spi_driver().  Certainly if the drivers do
actually need subsys_initcall() I'd like to understand why before going
forward with something like this, and ideally we'd be able to remove the
need.
