Ah ok.
Those 4 with the spigen driver are 2 devices defined by the generic DTS,
plus 2 devices from the spigen overlay - the spigen module wasn't laoded.
Same for my overlay, 2 generic, plus my LED definition.
spi0 pnpinfo name=spi@7e204000 compat=brcm,bcm2835-spi
spibus0
apa102led0 pnpinfo name=apa102led0 compat=led,apa102 at bus=0 cs=0
unknown pnpinfo name=spidev@0 compat=spidev at bus=0 cs=0
unknown pnpinfo name=spidev@1 compat=spidev at bus=0 cs=1
Makes sense.
