I can't say I understand fully what this is solving. Perhaps you could 
explain it a little further in the commit message.

In any case, to me, it looks like it would be better in 
ntb_register_device() instead of every single driver.

This is unrelated to above. I agree it should probably be removed but 
I'd suggest it should be in its own commit with its own justification.

Thanks,
