I have to agree with Vladimir here. The problem is not the driver, but
when the driver is instantiated. It seems radical to remove a driver
just because it loads at the wrong time. Ideally you want the driver
to figure out now is not a good time and return -EPROBE_DEFER, because
a resource it requires it not available.
