I think it would be much more helpful to have working probing of all
SOC buses during bootup. With your patch, we don't have the ability
to autoload modules based on the available devices, but can only
see devices that have been explicitly registered. This fundamentally
violates the principles of the linux device model.

Incidentally, I've experimented last week with doing exactly what
I think we should have. It doesn't yet do the thing I want it for
(allow PCI buses below SOC buses), but it should be able to scan
nested soc buses fine and thereby add all your devices to the
tree so you can attach drivers to them.
