Subject: [PATCH 4.14 65/91] ARM: amba: Fix race condition with driver_override

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@...der.be>

commit 6a7228d90d42bcacfe38786756ba62762b91c20a upstream.

The driver_override implementation is susceptible to a race condition
when different threads are reading vs storing a different driver
override.  Add locking to avoid this race condition.

Cfr. commits 6265539776a0810b ("driver core: platform: fix race
condition with driver_override") and 9561475db680f714 ("PCI: Fix race
condition with driver_override").

Fixes: 3cf385713460eb2b ("ARM: 8256/1: driver coamba: add device binding path 'driver_override'")
