So, as mentioned in the other review, I'd like to evaluate other
possibilities for the above:

- One option is to enable it globally in probe(). Then you lose the
  possibility to have a device at address 0x08.
- Enable it in probe() only if there is a generic binding "host-notify".
- Let the core scan for a device with HOST_NOTIFY when registering an
  adapter and then call back into the driver somehow?

Other ideas?
