Of course 0 also works, but causes ".0" to be appended to the platform

That seems desirable to me.
Why would it be desirable?
IMHO this is an unneeded change which is visible in userspace.
Only so what's visible in userspace would be consistent across atari and
q40 (and anything else that happens to instantiate the device in future).
Basically, I don't really understand why id -1 is better than id 0. I've
searched Documentation/device-tree and I still don't understand why a
singleton would need a special bus id.
