I don't understand how this would be useful since loopback mode is really just a test feature. Is there any reason to do loopback for something other than test? I think it would be better to add a sysfs or debugfs property to manipulate the SPI_LOOP flag from userspace.

there are a few spi master drivers which make use of that flag but there is no way to pass it through devicetree. This patch just creates a way to pass SPI_LOOP via devicetree.
