+/**
+ * struct spi_board_info - board-specific template for a SPI device
+ * @modalias: Initializes spi_device.modalias; identifies the driver.
+ * @platform_data: Initializes spi_device.platform_data; the particular
+ * data stored there is driver-specific.
+ * @controller_data: Initializes spi_device.controller_data; some
+ * controllers need hints about hardware setup, e.g. for DMA.
+ * @irq: Initializes spi_device.irq; depends on how the board is wired.
+ * @max_speed_hz: Initializes spi_device.max_speed_hz; based on limits
+ * from the chip datasheet and board-specific signal quality issues.
+ * @bus_num: Identifies which spi_master parents the spi_device; unused
+ * by spi_new_device(), and otherwise depends on board wiring.
+ * @chip_select: Initializes spi_device.chip_select; depends on how
+ * the board is wired.
+ * @mode: Initializes spi_device.mode; based on the chip datasheet, board
+ * wiring (some devices support both 3WIRE and standard modes), and
+ * possibly presence of an inverter in the chipselect path.
+ *
+ * When adding new SPI devices to the device tree, these structures serve
+ * as a partial device template. They hold information which can't always
+ * be determined by drivers. Information that probe() can establish (such
+ * as the default transfer wordsize) is not included here.
+ *
+ * These structures are used in two places. Their primary role is to
+ * be stored in tables of board-specific device descriptors, which are
+ * declared early in board initialization and then used (much later) to
+ * populate a controller's device tree after the that controller's driver
+ * initializes. A secondary (and atypical) role is as a parameter to
+ * spi_new_device() call, which happens after those controller drivers
+ * are active in some dynamic board configuration models.
