Device driver model: how to bind platform device to drivermanually?

[Peter Gsellmann]

In my board-specific initialization, i have registered platform devices
 with resources and names so they are not bound automatically to any
 default platform drivers (intentionally).

Later on, i install the platform driver candidates as kernel modules
 with platform_driver_register().

Now the problem: how to trigger the mydriver_probe() function with the
 correct platform device?

I see 2 possible solutions:

1.
echo 'platform:mydevice' > /sys/bus/platform/mydriver/bind

2.
echo 'bindinginfo' > /sys/bus/platform/drivers_probe

Which of the two is the correct (canonical) one?
Is there a third option?
The strings 'platform:mydevice' , 'bindinginfo' are obviously wrong.
 What to echo instead?
Is there documentation beside ./Documentation/driver-model/*.txt ?


My platform device is visible as /sys/devices/platform/mydevice/ with
 files modalias, uevent and also in /proc/iomem
My platform driver is visible as /sys/bus/platform/mydriver/ with
 files bind, unbind, uevent.


TIA,
Peter Gsellmann
