48c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ciDescription:
58c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci		This file allows the driver for a device to be specified which
68c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci		will override standard static and dynamic ID matching.  When
78c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci		specified, only a driver with a name matching the value written
88c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci		to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind to the
98c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci		device.  The override is specified by writing a string to the
108c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci		driver_override file (echo uio_hv_generic > driver_override) and
118c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci		may be cleared with an empty string (echo > driver_override).
128c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci		This returns the device to standard matching rules binding.
138c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci		Writing to driver_override does not automatically unbind the
148c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci		device from its current driver or make any attempt to
158c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci		automatically load the specified driver.  If no driver with a
168c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci		matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, the device
178c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci		will not bind to any driver.  This also allows devices to
188c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci		opt-out of driver binding using a driver_override name such as
198c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci		"none".  Only a single driver may be specified in the override,
208c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci		there is no support for parsing delimiters.
