Subject: [PATCH 0/3] make PCI's and platform's driver_override_store()/show() converge

Hi,

both, drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c and drivers/base/platform.c implement
a driver_override_store/show() pair which used to coincide between these
two subsystems (up to ->driver_override's storage location).

Now, both have received a fix in the meanwhile which the other subsystem
lacks each:
  commit 6265539776a0 ("driver core: platform: fix race condition with
                        driver_override")
and
  commit 4efe874aace5 ("PCI: Don't read past the end of sysfs
                       "driver_override" buffer")

Port the missing fix to the other subsystem each.

There's also the style fixup [2/3] which isn't strictly needed but
will make both driver_override_show() variants look the same again.

Applies to next-20170908.

Note that checkpatch complains about commit references to the PCI commit
mentioned above, which is, as I believe, a false positive due to the
quotation marks in the title.

Thanks,

Nicolai
