Well, I did do it this way for parisc. However, I assumed from reading the
driver model docs that we were transitioning to using the generic driver probe
rather than doing probe interceptions like this.
Doing it like this just seems rather clumsy. wouldn't it be better to
deprecate bus specific registrations in favour of the generic one?
There is another advantage to notifiers: they can be chained. Certain bus
architectures need to do additional setup for things like pci devices. They
would be able to do this by attaching a notifier.
