Hi Bharat, Diana

grep -r "/driver_override" Documentation 
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-rpmsg:What:		/sys/bus/rpmsg/devices/.../driver_override
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-pci:What:		/sys/bus/pci/devices/.../driver_override
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-platform:What:		/sys/bus/platform/devices/.../driver_override
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-css:What:		/sys/bus/css/devices/.../driver_override
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-vmbus:What:		/sys/bus/vmbus/devices/.../driver_override
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-amba:What:		/sys/bus/amba/devices/.../driver_override

Maybe it is time to move this into the core, and avoid yet another
implementation of driver_override_store() and driver_override_show()
functions etc.
