This is not a problem. We have this code to dynamically create and
register a device with a specific periphid on ux500. It worked even
before my recent patches to amba's bus.c if you have only
zeroes in these registers:

struct amba_device *
dbx500_add_amba_device(const char *name, resource_size_t base,
                       int irq, void *pdata, unsigned int periphid)
{
        struct amba_device *dev;
        int ret;

        dev = kzalloc(sizeof *dev, GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!dev)
                return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);

        dev->dev.init_name = name;

        dev->res.start = base;
        dev->res.end = base + SZ_4K - 1;
        dev->res.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM;

        dev->dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32);
        dev->dev.coherent_dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32);

        dev->irq[0] = irq;
        dev->irq[1] = NO_IRQ;

        dev->periphid = periphid;

        dev->dev.platform_data = pdata;

        ret = amba_device_register(dev, &iomem_resource);
        if (ret) {
                kfree(dev);
                return ERR_PTR(ret);
        }

        return dev;
}

I'd recommend coming up with some clever numbering scheme
with invented vendor ID.
