Indeed, we don't currently have a notion of controller in debugfs.

Yes this is what I was thinking about.

This would be for a bridge which to the best of my knowledge hasn't been
implemented by anyone (clocking and command/control timing issues).

the bus->id is an IDA, which is useful for to avoid conflicts, but it's
not really meaningful for debugfs. I remember seeing a case where we had
links 2 and 4 enabled, and the bus->id were 0 and 1, a completely
artificial value that doesn't really help in debugging.
