Subject: [PATCH] driver core: platform: add device binding path
'driver_override'
Needed by platform device drivers, such as the upcoming
vfio-platform driver, in order to bypass the existing OF, ACPI,
id_table and name string matches, and successfully be able to be
bound to any device, like so:
echo vfio-platform > /sys/bus/platform/devices/fff51000.ethernet/driver_override
echo fff51000.ethernet > /sys/bus/platform/devices/fff51000.ethernet/driver/unbind
echo fff51000.ethernet > /sys/bus/platform/drivers_probe
This mimics "PCI: Introduce new device binding path using
pci_dev.driver_override", which is an interface enhancement
for more deterministic PCI device binding, e.g., when in the
presence of hotplug.

Greg,
This is largely identical to the PCI version of the same that has
been accepted for v3.16 and ack'd by you:
https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/pipermail/kvmarm/2014-May/009674.html
and applied to Bjorn Helgaas' PCI tree:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git/commit/?h=pci/virtualization&id=782a985d7af26db39e86070d28f987cad21313c0
You are the platform driver core maintainer: can you apply this to
your driver-core tree now?
Thanks,
Kim
changes since previous version (v2 of the v5 vfio-platform driver
series):
- commit text: replaced vfio platform driver reference with
'upcoming', and removed the PCI version mailing list reference
since it has now been accepted.
- added Alex W., Alex G., and Stuart's Reviewed-by's.
changes in v2 patch of v5 of this patchseries:
- rebased onto today's Linus' ToT
- added kfree to match PCI counterpart fix, as Alex Williamson
just posted a v3 of the patch (thanks Christoffer for the
notification)
- in the commit text, replaced vfio platform driver reference with
'later in series', and updated the PCI version mailing list reference
to the v3 version.

+What: /sys/bus/platform/devices/.../driver_override
+Date: April 2014
+Contact: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@...escale.com>
+Description:
+ This file allows the driver for a device to be specified which
+ will override standard OF, ACPI, ID table, and name matching.
+ When specified, only a driver with a name matching the value
+ written to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind
+ to the device. The override is specified by writing a string
+ to the driver_override file (echo vfio-platform > \
+ driver_override) and may be cleared with an empty string
+ (echo > driver_override). This returns the device to standard
+ matching rules binding. Writing to driver_override does not
+ automatically unbind the device from its current driver or make
+ any attempt to automatically load the specified driver. If no
+ driver with a matching name is currently loaded in the kernel,
+ the device will not bind to any driver. This also allows
+ devices to opt-out of driver binding using a driver_override
+ name such as "none". Only a single driver may be specified in
+ the override, there is no support for parsing delimiters.
