Another option, perhaps not quite as elegant, is for the driver to
call into the uclass in its probe() method. We need to balance
elegance with the cost of adding a new field to the uclass which is
rarely used. What do you think?

Also, this does need some sort of use in sandbox, so can you update
the test driver to use it?
