This appears to be a bus not a misc device. I don't think it belongs in
misc. As you've got devices on this bus (or nailed into the 'bus' driver)
perhaps this belongs as drivers/platform/lp8x4x or similar with any
specific drivers split out - or even drivers/lp8x4x if there will be more
of them and more than one platform using it ?
