Hi Greg

Yes, you are right, the `spidev` change is independent of the switch
statement. My intention was to remove the temporary variable as it was
only used to check the return value of the `spi_new_device()`.

I will drop that change, and send a v2 focused only on the switch
statement. If appropriate I can send that cleanup as a separate patch.

Apologies for the last email, first time using mutt.

Thanks
