As I said before, the driver could create its node and all the parents. 
I went with the other option partly because I didn't have a particular 
driver. That has the advantage of only creating necessary nodes and 
provides a way to trigger doing so. The issue with it is the timing of 
when the node gets set (after parent devices have probed).

The host bridge resource list should have all the information needed.
