That doesn't work. If this node is placed under /firmware, which isn't a
proper "bus", then we have to explicitly look for the sub-device.

Due to this, the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() also isn't useful, because the
/firmware/coreboot/ device won't be generated automatically, and so no
matching uevent will occur.
