Martyn,
Of course you're right about this patch being wrong. I'm sorry for the
noise. I'm not sure how I missed your patch "VME: Provide access to VME
bus enumeration and fix vme_user match function" that addressed my
concern about "bus=0" not working which I raised back in 2013 with my
patch "vme_user: Remove superfluous bus module parameter":
