No need to include device.h, as struct device * is an opaque
pointer.

Instead, add dev_printk.h as you're using dev_err_probe().

Don't include mod_devicetable.h, this header has recently been
added to spi.h, thanks to the effort of Uwe Kleine-Konig.

What about returning dev_err_probe() and -ENODEV instead of -EINVAL?
It's about 50-50 in the kernel but -ENODEV seems more suitable as an
error code if spi_get_device_match_data() fails.
