It would be up to the driver to keep track of all its devices and match them up by <segment,busnumber>. But I think the drivers keep track of all that already. The biggest problem would probably be the fact that it couldn't depend on being bound to devices in any given order. It might have to check to see whether it has found all the devices it expects, or maybe become a little resilient to having errors reported when it doesn't have all the information it needs to decode them.
