Don't add that function. Just use a small amdnb_misc softc to track
whether or not the amdtemp is attached or not:
struct amdnb_misc_softc {
device_t sc_amdtemp;
};
Don't pass a pci_attach_args to amdtemp. Just pass it the chipset tag
and PCI tag if that is all that it needs.
I'm not sure I fully understand the purpose of amdnb_miscbus.
Are all of the functions that do/will attach at amdnb_miscbus
configuration-space only functions, or are they something else? Please
explain what amdnb_miscbus is for.
