Okay, I get that and it makes sense with what I know so far about how the 
kernel device model works (which I'm still learning).  So how would I 
manually add a device?  Say I create the PCI wrapper driver that claims 
the clone-TSEC, is there a "register device" type call similar to 
pci_register_driver() that I could put in the wrapper code that causes the 
gfar_probe() to be called?

Create an OF node (probably under the root node) programatically with
all the information the gianfar driver will want, based on what you
detect on PCI, and call of_platform_device_create().
