[First Light] Sorry, Mark, My email client is not quite open source style. I'm trying to use this way.

[First Light] I'm using linux-4.4 kernel, and In spi-dw-mmio.c,
I see that:
 LINE74: dws->bus_num = pdev-->id; (dws is struct dw_spi, not struct spi_master)
 LINE107: ret=dw_spi_add_host(&pdev->dev, dws);
spi_register_master is called in dw_spi_add_host.
So dws->bus_num is not dynamically assigned, but just one static value since pdev->id is not inited.
I think you are saying spi_master->bus_num is dynamically inited. Right?

I also see that spi_master->bus_num is inited with dws->bus_number first, and the it finds that this bus_num < 0,
then uses of_alias_get_id or atomic_dec_return(&dyn_bus_id) to get a dynamic one.

Question is: do we need to update dws->bus_num again? It is -1 always.
>From /proc/interrupts, I check irq of spi, and the last column is the device name,
unlike other devices, like i2c0, i2c1,..., spi's device name is dw_spi65535,
both of the spi devices I registered have this name. 65535 is -1.
There must be something unmatched.
