How does libudev choke on this? It feels wrong to introduce a bus that
basically does nothing...

This counter basically ensures that at most one device may bind with
this driver... you'd still have that device on the bus, though.

Can't you get that structure through matrix_dev->device.driver instead
when you need it in the function below?

As you already have several structures that can be registered exactly
once (the root device, the bus, the driver, ...), you can already be
sure that there's only one device on the bus, can't you?

This feels like a lot of boilerplate code, just to create a bus that
basically doesn't do anything. I'm surprised that libudev can't deal
with bus-less devices properly...
