Hmm, it does look like spi.c supports multiple matching mechanisms, so I
guess m25p80.c could match some with of_match_table and some with
modalias/spi_driver.id_table. See:

static int spi_match_device(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *drv)
{
	const struct spi_device *spi = to_spi_device(dev);
	const struct spi_driver *sdrv = to_spi_driver(drv);

	/* Attempt an OF style match */
	if (of_driver_match_device(dev, drv))
		return 1;
	// ^^^^ we aren't yet (but could be) using this

	/* Then try ACPI */
	if (acpi_driver_match_device(dev, drv))
		return 1;

	if (sdrv->id_table)
		return !!spi_match_id(sdrv->id_table, spi);
	// ^^^^ we're currently only using this

	return strcmp(spi->modalias, drv->name) == 0;
}

I'll see about patching this for 4.2. We have a working solution for
4.1 at least.
