If the consumers can detect that there's a consumer on which they depend,
you could call device_link_add() from their ->probe hook.

Generally the earliest point in time when device links can be added is
after device_initialize() has been called for the consumer and device_add()
has been called for the supplier.  (At least that's my understanding.)
