This patch is not optimal, as the proper way to handling this is to bring full
hotplug support to the platform drivers, but this would be much more invasive
and far reaching a project. This approach matches the marvell discovery
northbridge pci id to load the driver for the builtin gigabit ethernet
function, and is similar of what is done already using the discover module
loading technique. With more and more distributions moving to using hotplug
only to probe for modules to load, this patch becomes necessary.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
