Well mtd system is not using bus model.
However a card needs to be probed (theoteticly) by several high-level
FTL drivers to make one of them to bind to it. (In fact several can bind
at same now, which is both bad and good feature).

I understand that module can have aliases so it can bind to a bus.

Of course I can do a 'request_module', but I think it isn't nice thing
to do.

I can also attach alias to uevent which is sent to udev, but its also
not easy to do with mtd.
