spi: Make spi_alloc_device and spi_add_device public again
This functions were previously made private since they were not used. However, these functions will be needed again. Partial revert of commit da21fde0fdb3 ("spi: Make several public functions private to spi.c") Signed-off-by: Stefan Binding <sbinding@opensource.cirrus.com> Reviewed-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220121172431.6876-2-sbinding@opensource.cirrus.com Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>
