Indeed, adding some SPI aliases makes the device nodes tidier:

        aliases {
                serial0 = &uart0;
                serial1 = &uart2;
                serial2 = &uart3;
                spi0 = &spi0;
                spi1 = &spi1;
                spi2 = &spi2;
        };

However, SPI usage examples I have seen showed some random high number.

Thanks
