Hi Jean-Christophe,

I'm not sure if it's ok to assign automatically bus numbers to the masters. They should have different bus numbers, for sure. But I wonder if it's not better to add an extra member 'bus_num' to the spi_imx_master struct instead ? bus_num is used in scan_boardinfo() to retrieve the right spi_board_info struct. As bus_num is assigned automatically, the order of registration of SPI busses will be important to match the information in spi_board_info().
E.g. in my board file I have :
[...]
static struct spi_board_info imx27_interaxio_spi_board_info[] = {
    { /* SPI 1 */
      .name = "mc13783",
      .max_speed_hz = 3000000,
      .bus_num = 1,
      .chip_select = 0,
    },
    { /* SPI 0 */
        .name = "LCD",
        .max_speed_hz = 2000000,
        .bus_num = 0,
        .chip_select = 0,
    },
};
[...]
imx27_add_spi0(&imx27_spi_0_data);       <=== first registration, will get bus_num 0
imx27_add_spi1(&imx27_spi_1_data);       <=== will get bus_num 1
 [...]

Then I have to be sure that I use the correct bus_num in spi_board_info to have the correct parameters (e.g. speed) for the right spi bus.
If I change the order of calling imx27_add_spiX(), I also have to change the bus numbers in my spi_board_info struct. I.e. this would not work :

[...]
static struct spi_board_info imx27_interaxio_spi_board_info[] = {
    { /* SPI 1 */
      .name = "mc13783",
      .max_speed_hz = 3000000,
      .bus_num = 1,
      .chip_select = 0,
    },
    { /* SPI 0 */
        .name = "LCD",
        .max_speed_hz = 2000000,
        .bus_num = 0,
        .chip_select = 0,
    },
};
[...]
imx27_add_spi1(&imx27_spi_1_data);       <=== first registration, will get bus_num 0
imx27_add_spi0(&imx27_spi_0_data);       <=== will get bus_num 1
[...]

SPI1 will end up having speed 2000000Hz instead of 3000000Hz (and will have the wrong name, but less important...).

Is my concern right or do I miss something ?
