Great.

Should the driver put some kernel info when the device is probed but
disabled?  Something like:

	bt87x: the device XXXX:YYYY is not in the list of supported devices.
	       For using this driver for unsupported devices, too,
	       specify load_all=1 module option.

One concern is again hotplug.  This might be annoying although it's
harmless.
