[ Upstream commitcb3d1049f4] 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 generalize the sysfs store() and show() callbacks via a driver_override feature flag in struct bus_type. 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].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
