This patch is a no-op for Intel, but I am not convinced it's the right 
fix or the definitions are not consistent.

  * @link_id: Link id number, can be 0 to N, unique for each Master
  * @id: bus system-wide unique id

In the MIPI/DisCo definitions, a controller can have multiple masters. 
if you have multiple controllers, each of them should have their own 
debugfs directory IMHO. It's totally fine to have multiple bus/masters 
with a link_id == 0.
