You are correct -- I did not interpret your question this way.
Once the child device is loaded, it can send a private ioctl down that
returns whatever you want. For example, you could return a shared data
structure and an array of pointers, like a C++ pure virtual object (a
pseudo-COM interface). There's a PnP minor IRP that is defined for this
purpose, but you can do whatever you want in an internal ioctl.
If both drivers live in the same binary, then they can certainly call
the same functions, although you'd need to be careful about tracking
which device object was which.
