I've got a somewhat similar use cases, but not necessarily on DT-native
platforms:

a) composite devices that are probed via PCI or DMI and just instantiate
   a bunch of other (more generic) devices.

   For example the  APUv2/3/4 board driver: it eg. instanciates the
   gpio-amd-fch driver first, and then binds specific gpio lines to
   appropriate functions, eg. reset key (input), LEDs, ...

b) I2C devices behind an USB-based bus adapter.

In both cases it would be nice to have the actual device configuration
written as a DT snippet, which just needs to be loaded.

Let me know, if anybody has an idea how to do that.
