This patch is required for vfio-fsl-mc meta driver to successfully bind
layerscape container devices for device passthrough. This patch adds
a mechanism to allow a layerscape device to specify a driver rather than
a layerscape driver provide a device match.
Example to allow a device (dprc.1) to specifically bind
with driver (vfio-fsl-mc):-
- echo vfio-fsl-mc > /sys/bus/fsl-mc/devices/dprc.1/driver_override
- echo dprc.1 > /sys/bus/fsl-mc/drivers/fsl_mc_dprc/unbind
- echo dprc.1 > /sys/bus/fsl-mc/drivers/vfio-fsl-mc/bind
