Ideally the driver core would have a way for buses to register devices
pre physical enumeration and give drivers a callback that could be used
to do whatever is needed to trigger enumeration, letting the bus then
match newly physically enumerated devices with the software enumerated
struct devices.  Soundwire has something in this area for a bus level
solution.
