Hmm, but what (additional) args would you pass to config_alloc_child(),
that would allow the MD code to infere the firmware node, without having
MI bus code having to know about it? If there would be a way to do that,
we could just as well pass that args additionally to device_register.

Sounds like the ugly code I have might be the best we can do in this case.
