That's good to know.
Hope for an answer too ;-)

Ah, important information.
I had been using dev.spi.0.clock to increase speed.
Obviously dev.spi doesn't even exists anymore.
Have to check about the CS, technically it is a dummy value anyway,
since the APA102 LEDs don't have a chip select and are the only
device connected to the SPI.
