    Please submit patches using subject lines reflecting the style for the
    subsystem. This makes it easier for people to identify relevant
    patches.

    I'm not sure this is something we want to support at all, I can't
    immediately see anything that does this deliberately in the SPI code and
    obviously the "bus number" is something of a Linux specific concept
    which would need some explanation if we were going to document it. It's
    something I'm struggling a bit to see a robust use case for that isn't
    better served by parsing sysfs, what's the goal here?

    This is definitely *not* trivial but yes, in general you should CC
    maintainers on things.
