Type family constraints

Given
data GhcPass (c :: Pass)
deriving instance Eq (GhcPass c)
deriving instance Typeable c => Data (GhcPass c)
data Pass = Parsed | Renamed | Typechecked
deriving (Data)
Is there any way to express that `pass` must be valid for each value of
`Pass` in the following instance head?
instance (p ~ GhcPass pass, OutputableBndrId p)
=> Outputable (HsIPBinds p) where
This comes from a problem where setting each type family instance
separately does not get picked up during instance resolution (and can't be,
according to earlier questions by me on this)
i.e.
type instance XIPBinds (GhcPass 'Parsed) = NoExt
type instance XIPBinds (GhcPass 'Renamed) = NoExt
type instance XIPBinds (GhcPass 'Typechecked) = TcEvBinds
it works fine for
type instance XIPBinds (GhcPass _) = NoExt
