[PATCH 0/3] driver core: generalize driver_override infrastructure

[Danilo Krummrich]

Currently, there are 12 busses (including platform and PCI) that duplicate the
driver_override logic for their individual devices.

All of them seem to be prone to the bug described in [1].

While this could be solved for every bus individually using a separate lock,
solving this in the driver-core generically results in less (and cleaner)
changes overall.

Thus, move driver_override to struct device, provide corresponding accessors for
busses and handle locking with a separate lock internally.

In particular, add device_set_driver_override(), device_has_driver_override(),
device_match_driver_override() and a helper, DEVICE_ATTR_DRIVER_OVERRIDE(), to
declare the corresponding sysfs store() and show() callbacks.

Until all busses have migrated, keep driver_set_override() in place.

Note that we can't use the device lock for the reasons described in [2].

This patch series includes the migration of the platform bus; patches for all
other affected busses still need to be extracted as a follow-up of the WIP
treewide patch in [3].
