I don't think it matters much whether there is one module or two
(others might have a strong opinion one way or the other).
What is important though are these two points:
- How to represent the two PCI devices to user space: You should only
have one interface to user space I think, and this should be similar
to how other drivers manage similar cases (I don't actually know what they
do, but I assume you've done some research here)
- How you connect find the pair of devices: Generally speaking while
the SoC might only have one of each, you shouldn't make that assumption
in the code, but instead have a reliable way of having one driver wait
for the other driver to finish probing so you can match the pair.

Ok.
