Ah, now I see that obvious thing I was indeed missing - I got mixed up and started thinking bus_add_device() only got called as part of driver probe, but of course it's actually much earlier in {platform,amba}_device_add(). That means my idea cannot in fact work at all, since both ends of any link would defer waiting for the other to probe (and thus call coresight_register()) first. Oh well, I guess poking amba_bustype really does remain the only reasonable answer.
Thanks, Robin.
