Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] dt-bindings: allow suggesting usb bus number for usb
 platform busses

Signed-off-by: "David R. Piegdon" <lkml@...q.org>

systemd allows use of predictable netdev names. these currently do
not work for netdevs connected to USB platform busses, as the id
of the platform bus is not necessarily consistent across kernel
versions. this patch allows setting a suggested bus id for platform
busses. in combination with a suggested systemd-patch, see
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/7273 , this allows persistent
netdev names for such devices.

NOTE: this patch might change ordering of busses on devices that use
platform-busses, if aliases for these busses have already been defined!
