[PATCH] SPI: busnum == 0 needs to work
We need to be able to have a "SPI bus 0" matching chip numbering; but that number was wrongly used to flag dynamic allocation of a bus number. This patch resolves that issue; now negative numbers trigger dynamic alloc. It also updates the how-to-write-a-controller-driver overview to mention this stuff.
