Not 100% sure. It's possible to add information for pci devices to the
device tree, too, even though that bus is hotpluggable and usually
autodetected.

For the generic solution you would need to create a sysfs file similar
to the "new_device" property for i2c (implemented in
drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c:new_device_store()). Instead of creating a
i2c device you'd create a platform device then. But the details are
different enough that this isn't an easy task for a kernel newcomer.

Best regards
