The PCI infrastructure is designed such that a bus/device/function
address identifies a single device.  To that device, we can attach a
single driver, which manages all BARs on that device.  There is no
provision for attaching one driver to BAR0 and a different driver to
BAR1.

To manage the device you describe, you'd have to have a driver that
claims the entire PCI device, including both BARs.  That driver would
internally deal with the UART, GPIO, 1-wire prom, and SD host
controller modules.
