Is this still true? I had a quick look and can't see anything which
relies on spi_bitbang being the first entry. Things like this should be
using container_of so that position in the struct is irrelevant.

Yes, sadly true. This is due to the implementation of the bitbanging
library, spi_bitbang.c, which assumes the struct spi_bitbang is the
first of drvdata. Though it could be changed in the future (beyond this
little driver), every bitbanging library user has to follow this for now.
Best regards,
Thomas
