Thanks, I see it now. Indeed you have two buses which start at the same
address space. You can:
1. Remap addresses,
2. Rename APIS and SPBA to bus-1 and bus-2,
3. Add specific (non-generic) name to spba-bus which you did initially.

All of these are rather workarounds so I don't mind your approach (3).

Best regards,
Krzysztof
