[PATCHv7 07/26] driver core: amba: add device binding path 'driver_override'

[Antonios Motakis <a.motakis-lrHrjnjw1UfHK3s98zE1ajGjJy/sRE9J@public.gmane.org>]

As already demonstrated with PCI [1] and the platform bus [2], a
driver_override property in sysfs can be used to bypass the id matching
of a device to a AMBA driver. This can be used by VFIO to bind to any AMBA
device requested by the user.
