FWIW, the "normal" way to force specific device unit numbers is via
bus_hint_device_unit, but perhaps that is specific to when hints
exits whereas this is specific to a bus property. Perhaps though this
can't have the unit number assigned by the bus at the BUS_ADD_CHILD
call? That would be the other way to handle this perhaps vs trying to
change the unit in the probe routine.
