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.

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 Restructured Text 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.
