> The following sequence of operation gives error in binding devices
> 1) Bind a device using dpdk-devbind.py
> 2) Unbind the device using kernel tools(/sys/bus/pci/device/driver/unbind)
> 3) Bind the device using kernel tools(/sys/bus/pci/driver/new_id and
> /sys/bus/pci/driver/bind)
> 
> The bind failure was due to cached driver name in 'driver_override'.
> Fix it by writing 'null' to driver_override just after binding a
