I agree, there's no point in listing things that can be done automatically - it's just introducing potential for error. > To make it work would probably require a hook in the USB enumeration > path to look for matching nodes in DT/ACPI and attach it to the struct > device. Yes, that was where I was heading too. Have a mechanism for matching up hotplugged devices with pre-registered ones which appear from firmware or wherever if their IDs match. It'd need some mechanism for drivers to opt into being bound to devices that aren't physically there I think so that normal drivers for enumerated devices don't get confused.
