1What: /sys/bus/platform/devices/.../driver_override 2Date: April 2014 3Contact: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@freescale.com> 4Description: 5 This file allows the driver for a device to be specified which 6 will override standard OF, ACPI, ID table, and name matching. 7 When specified, only a driver with a name matching the value 8 written to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind 9 to the device. The override is specified by writing a string 10 to the driver_override file (echo vfio-platform > \ 11 driver_override) and may be cleared with an empty string 12 (echo > driver_override). This returns the device to standard 13 matching rules binding. Writing to driver_override does not 14 automatically unbind the device from its current driver or make 15 any attempt to automatically load the specified driver. If no 16 driver with a matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, 17 the device will not bind to any driver. This also allows 18 devices to opt-out of driver binding using a driver_override 19 name such as "none". Only a single driver may be specified in 20 the override, there is no support for parsing delimiters. 21
