spi_new_device9
Instantiate one new spi device
Usage

Arguments
master
Controller to which device is connected
chip
Describes the SPI device
Context
can sleep
Overview
On typical mainboards, this is purely internal; and it's not needed after board init creates the hard-wired devices. Some development platforms may not be able to use spi_register_board_info though, and this is exported so that for example a USB or parport based adapter driver could add devices (which it would learn about out-of-band).
Returns the new device, or NULL.
