For driver probe dependency, you could refer to [1]. I would like
resource allocation and free to be symmetric. So maybe allocate/free in
probe/remove or starup/shutdown. If the secure driver is probed, I
think it would finally allocate secure resource. So later allocation
has no much benefit and make code more complicated.
