Is this actually needed? If the driver is responsible for powering up the
device, maybe it's enough to have a simple exported function from the
framework that blocks until the device has been probed, using a
'completion' or a similar wait_event() based primitive for waiting for
the device:
1. The bus driver creates the struct slim_device in one of the three ways
mentioned and does init_completion().
2. The probe function of the driver ensures that the regulators/clocks/...
are set up correctly and then calls wait_for_completion()
3. When the device shows up on the bus, the slimbus layer calls complete().
Steps 2 and 3 can happen in any order.
