Do not use "This commit/patch".

I think you are still making some shortcuts in design and this also
causes some misunderstanding.

If this is a bus, then there should be child device(s). But there is
none. If there is no device, how are you going to use this? Imagine now
a SPI controller without child device...

If this is a bus, then one controller implementing it might be using
GPIOs, but other one might have dedicated lines. Unless it's not
possible and all Wiegand implementations use GPIOs? It does not sound right.

For these properties you must use standard units.
