+Subject: [PATCH] spidev: Completely disable the DT warning
+
+The upstream SPI and DT maintainers are completely opposed to declaring
+in Device Tree that an SPI CS line is to be managed by the spidev
+driver, even though the facility is useful on a hobbyist device like a
+Raspberry Pi where arbitrary devices can be attached, and the
+alternative to DT declaration (spi_board_info) has been almost entirely
+rendered obsolete by DT.
+
+Continue to override their objections by disabling the warning.
+
+See: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/3361
+ https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/1054
