Hi Jason

Yes, there is a #define for this. However, in this case, i think the
number actually tells you more. The dtsi file has the number, not some
symbolic representation. Also, some platforms, e.g. Dove, have more
than one spi controller. Having the number there makes it easier to
see the mapping between the node in DT and the name used in the
platform device. If we use the #define it means making an indirection
via kirkwood.h for a human to see the mapping.

However, i can change it...
