You almost surely already know it, but anyway, from a root
shell:

drvctl -lt mainbus0

will produce a tree based on the configuration shown in dmesg.
It is a very elementary information, plain/text and not XML.
However, maybe you could do some scripting to compare this
tree with a previously stored one, and then detect the
possible changes between them.
