Yes, I observed it.
Background:
The platform: fitlet2 [1] , CPU Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU J3455 @ 1.50GHz.
On an extension board there are three SPI master controllers "Intel
Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor N4200/N3350/E3900 Series SPI
Controller", controlled with spi_pxa2xx_platform driver,
and two USB/SPI bridges "FT232H Single HS USB-UART/FIFO IC".
I'm working on a driver for FT232H bridge and saw the following:
spi_pxa2xx driver occupy IDs 1,2,3 this way [2].
Thus when my code tries to get ID automatically (set spi_master.bus_num=
-1), it gets IDs 0 and 1, that leads a crash.
BTW, I haven't the faintest idea, how to cure this problem in the
opposite case: when a device that gets ID dynamically squats an ID
purposed for a device that uses a fixed numbering order.

I'm sorry for the oversight, it'll be fixed.
