The SoundWire specification allows the device number to be allocated at will. When a system includes multiple SoundWire links, the device number scope is limited to the link to which the device is attached. However, for integration/debug it can be convenient to have a unique device number across the system. This patch adds a 'dev_num_ida_min' field at the bus level, which when set will be used to allocate an IDA. The allocation happens when a hardware device reports as ATTACHED. If any error happens during the enumeration, the allocated IDA is not freed - the device number will be reused if/when the device re-joins the bus. The IDA is only freed when the Linux device is unregistered.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
