I just wanted to make sure this patch is strictly required before asking
for a merge in the mainline, it adds to the code complexity so it should
not be taken lightly.

I will drop the RFC status and add a simple configuration to define
a config entry to configure the max number of drivers statically so
that we do not waste memory for nothing.
