SPI_ALLOC_DEVICE(9)	Serial Peripheral Interface (S	   SPI_ALLOC_DEVICE(9)

NAME
       spi_alloc_device - Allocate a new SPI device

SYNOPSIS
       struct spi_device * spi_alloc_device(struct spi_master * master);

ARGUMENTS
       master
	   Controller to which device is connected

CONTEXT
       can sleep

DESCRIPTION
       Allows a driver to allocate and initialize a spi_device without
       registering it immediately. This allows a driver to directly fill the
       spi_device with device parameters before calling spi_add_device on it.

       Caller is responsible to call spi_add_device on the returned spi_device
       structure to add it to the SPI master. If the caller needs to discard
       the spi_device without adding it, then it should call spi_dev_put on
       it.

       Returns a pointer to the new device, or NULL.
