[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.
