Sometimes, we want to control which of the matching drivers
binds to a subchannel device (e.g. for subchannels we want to
handle via vfio-ccw).
For pci devices, a mechanism to do so has been introduced in
782a985d7a ("PCI: Introduce new device binding path using
pci_dev.driver_override"). It makes sense to introduce the
driver_override attribute for subchannel devices as well, so
that we can easily extend the 'driverctl' tool (which makes
use of the driver_override attribute for pci).
Note that unlike pci we still require a driver override to
match the subchannel type; matching more than one subchannel
type is probably not useful anyway.

|
Description: This file allows the driver for a device to be specified. When
|
|
specified, only a driver with a name matching the value written
|
|
to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind to the
|
|
device. The override is specified by writing a string to the
|
|
driver_override file (echo vfio-ccw > driver_override) and
|
|
may be cleared with an empty string (echo > driver_override).
|
|
This returns the device to standard matching rules binding.
|
|
Writing to driver_override does not automatically unbind the
|
|
device from its current driver or make any attempt to
|
|
automatically load the specified driver. If no driver with a
|
|
matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, the device
|
|
will not bind to any driver. This also allows devices to
|
|
opt-out of driver binding using a driver_override name such as
|
|
"none". Only a single driver may be specified in the override,
|
|
there is no support for parsing delimiters.
|
|
Note that unlike the mechanism of the same name for pci, this
|
|
file does not allow to override basic matching rules. I.e.,
|
|
the driver must still match the subchannel type of the device.
