I really don't think it's a good idea to try to force a HBA to select
it's own address in SPI. It's certainly illegal under the standard, and
there are many things that could go wrong with this (both inside the HBA
and on the bus).
Steve, how exactly is this supposed to work? The SPI protocol wasn't
designed to allow two devices on the bus with the same ID. I'm assuming
the device doesn't do all the things that simply can't work, like
disconnect/reconnect?
