I believe you should Cc this to Andrew Lunn for the comments.
IIRC something similar was tried to being solved for DSA (?)
devices where SFP hotpluggable hardware can be attached or
detached at run-time (sorry if I messes / mixing up things,
I wrote this from my memory, might be completely wrong).

Can you point out to the ACPI excerpt(s) of the description of anything related
to the device(s) in question?
