How does this work with e.g. udev module loading? If the ID isn't
known until we attempt to probe a device, then if all AMBA drivers
are modular, there'll be no drivers registered to cause an attempt
to match a device to a driver, and thus there will be no
peripheral IDs for udev to use to load modules.
