Saving the index in the struct spi_device would assume 1. that all SPI
peripherals can only use one SPI offload instance and 2. that all SPI
offload providers have #spi-offload-cells = <1> where the cell is the
index. I don't think either of these are safe assumptions.

I'm not opposed to doing that, but things would get more complicated if we
ever added more trigger types. Because then we would need to add some kind
of trigger device abstraction to wrap the enable and disable functions of
the various triggers.

It seems simpler to me to have the peripheral driver do it since it already
needs to get the clock device for other reasons anyway.

But I also got some internal feedback that it might make more sense to add
a trigger abstraction layer, so maybe that is something we should look into
more.
