spi: spidev: Make probe to fail early if a spidev compatible is used
Some Device Trees don't use a real device name in the compatible string for SPI devices nodes, abusing the fact that the spidev driver name is used to match as a fallback when a SPI device ID table is not defined. But since commit 6840615f ("spi: spidev: Add SPI ID table") a table for SPI device IDs was added to the driver breaking the assumption that these DTs were relying on. There has been a warning message for some time since commit 956b200a ("spi: spidev: Warn loudly if instantiated from DT as "spidev""), making quite clear that this case is not really supported by the spidev driver. Since these devices won't match anyways after the mentioned commit, there is no point to continue if an spidev compatible is used. Let's just make the driver probe to fail early.
