Ok, so if I grasp this correctly the idea is that we have a driver
attaching to an individual device on the fsl-mc bus. That driver then
goes and allocates / blocks more devices from that bus as it initializes.

Is that model always possible? Which device would a NIC bind to for
example? I merely want to make sure we're not running ourselves into a
bad corner ;).
