So I'm guessing here is the "meat" of the whole goal here? You just want multiple netdevices per PCI device? Why can't you do that today in your PCI driver? What problem are you trying to solve that others also are having that requires all of this? Adding a new bus type and subsystem is fine, but usually we want more than just one user of it, as this does not really show how it is exercised very well. Ideally 3 users would be there as that is when it proves itself that it is flexible enough. Would just using the mfd subsystem work better for you? That provides core support for "multi-function" drivers/devices already. What is missing from that subsystem that does not work for you here? thanks, greg k-h
