Good: centralizes locking logic. Verify device_match_driver_override()
handles -1 return for "not set" case consistently across all callers.

Correct: driver_override now managed by generic infrastructure, not
platform_device. Ensure device_release() in driver-core handles cleanup.

Good: removes duplicate sysfs attribute. Verify generic implementation
in device-core provides equivalent locking and sysfs_emit() behavior.

Same pattern as arch/sh. Consistent refactoring across platform code.

Verify this flag is documented in struct bus_type definition and that
all bus_type users expecting driver_override support have this set.

Good: accessor function prevents direct field access. Confirm
device_has_driver_override() is properly exported and inlined where
needed for performance.

Good: removes strlen() call; generic function should handle length
internally. Verify no callers relied on old signature.
