Please send a patch, thanks.
Oh wait, why are you attempting to force drivers to random fake devices?
You have seen this patch set which will taint your kernel if you attempt
such a broken thing to do, right:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260826-bind_taint-v1-0-52b05f4a965c@linuxfoundation.org
Please test that patch set (well, after fixing up the obvious problems
with it...)
