How do you know it is just "one driver"?

Anyway, yes, I think there are options to give to git bisect, you can
feed it just the path to the driver as part of 'git bisect start' and I
think that should work. The man page for 'git bisect' shows this with
the following example:
git bisect start -- arch/i386 include/asm-i386
to just test changes for those directories.
