That tie was only to enable autodetect so that we don't need to run a BTT assembly step from an initramfs just to get an NVDIMM up and running. It was a convenience, not a requirement.
It's a very deep tying for that feature. Look at what the raid code does just for scanning. Although even that is officially deprecate because people don't like in-kernel scanning (which I tend to disagree with).
