If the driver is built as a module, autoload won't work because the module
alias information is not filled. So user-space can't match the registered
device with the corresponding module.
Export the module alias information using the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro.
Before this patch:
$ modinfo drivers/spi/spi-jcore.ko | grep alias
alias: platform:jcore_spi
After this patch:
$ modinfo drivers/spi/spi-jcore.ko | grep alias
alias: platform:jcore_spi
alias: of:N*T*Cjcore,spi2C*
alias: of:N*T*Cjcore,spi2

The driver core clears the driver data to NULL after device_release
or on probe failure. Thus, it is not needed to manually clear the
device driver data to NULL.

The J-Core "spi2" device is a PIO-based SPI master controller. It
differs from "bitbang" devices in that that it's clocked in hardware
rather than via soft clock modulation over gpio, and performs
byte-at-a-time transfers between the cpu and SPI controller.
This driver will be extended to support future versions of the J-Core
SPI controller with DMA transfers when they become available.
