This is not necessarily true.  If a board has features and/or allocatable memory
that cannot be described at one shot, then a board can auto-config as several
pieces.  There is a bit in the auto-config specification that declares that a
board does have multiple devices, although it's not clear that setting this bit
will make anything different happen.
