You ought to sign off the patch as well as you're part of the chain for
it getting into the kernel.

Why have legacy stuff in a newly implemented subsystem?

Why all the -ENODEVs if there's no function?  I'd expect that if there's
nothing to do it should be possible to omit functions from drivers.

Modifying the driver structure seems icky, why is this needed?  Other
bus types appear to manage without.

ARRAY_SIZE()?  I guess the table should be static too.
