You are right, that should be sufficient.

It's not particularly costly (it just walks the list of aliases once
and does a string comparison for each entry), but it does so while
holding the of_mutex.

Both variants exist in the current kernel: The I2C core stores the
hightest index in a global variable, while of_alias_get_highest_id() is
called once for each registered SPI controller. I have a slight
preference for the global variable solution.
