You can do that today by not providing any device ids in your driver structure, relying on the dynamic ids the driver core creates.

That's not going to happen, as how can the kernel know a specific device is going to want this, before it asks the drivers about it?
Or, just don't ever create a driver that matches that device, then rely on userspace to do the binding explicitly.
Either way, no driver core changes are needed from what I can tell.
