Subject: [PATCH 12/12] driver core: remove driver_set_override()
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 01:59:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324005919.2408620-13-dakr@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260324005919.2408620-1-dakr@kernel.org>

All buses have been converted from driver_set_override() to the generic
driver_override infrastructure introduced in commit cb3d1049f4ea
("driver core: generalize driver_override in struct device").

Buses now either opt into the generic sysfs callbacks via the
bus_type::driver_override flag, or use device_set_driver_override() /
__device_set_driver_override() directly.

Thus, remove the now-unused driver_set_override() helper.
