In one of the previous versions of this patch series, there was also the possibility to instantiate
the device from another driver. I have been told, that this is not the way to go anymore, unless
there is a very specific reason for that. I did not find such reason, so I have removed this suport.

The only other device instantiating method I could think of is ACPI, however I believe it would be
just dead code no one would use, as the Wiegand interface is not normally used on non-embedded
devices. This is the point Evgeny Boger argued for as well. Is there any other device instantiating
method I am not aware of, that would be suitable for this bus?
