Subject: [PATCH 3/3] drivers core: allow id match override when manually binding driver

This allows binding spidev on any slave device by hand using sysfs
without adding superfluous compatibles or any other needless
complication.

Note that any slave driver that requires configuration will fail to
probe anyway. Only a driver that binds to anything can be bound
successfully.
