This seems like the wrong approach to me.

To me, it seems like you have a device that contains an internal bus and
allows bus enumeration. Typically, we would surface that bus in the
driver/device model and allow sub-drivers to bind to that by way of
exposing the internal bus, like e.g. drivers/ssb/.
