This is the follow-up of the driver_override generalization in [1], converting
the remaining 4 busses and removing the now-unused driver_set_override() helper.

All of them are prone to the potential UAF described in [2], caused by accessing
the driver_override field from their corresponding match() callback.

In order to address this, the generalized driver_override field in struct device
is protected with a spinlock. The driver-core provides accessors, such as
device_match_driver_override(), device_has_driver_override() and
device_set_driver_override(), which all ensure proper locking internally.

Additionally, the driver-core provides a driver_override flag in struct
bus_type, which, once enabled, automatically registers generic sysfs callbacks,
allowing userspace to modify the driver_override field.

This series is based on v7.1-rc1 with no additional dependencies, hence those
patches can be picked up by subsystems individually.

[2] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220789
[3] https://gitlab.com/driverctl/driverctl/-/blob/0.121/driverctl?ref_type=tags#L99

Changes in v2:
  - Rebase on v7.1-rc1
  - Drop already merged patches
  - vmbus documentation changes as requested by Michael

Danilo Krummrich (5):
  amba: use generic driver_override infrastructure
  cdx: use generic driver_override infrastructure
  Drivers: hv: vmbus: use generic driver_override infrastructure
  rpmsg: use generic driver_override infrastructure
  driver core: remove driver_set_override()

* [PATCH v2 5/5] driver core: remove driver_set_override()

  Cc: driver-core, linux-kernel, linux-hyperv, linux-arm-msm,
	linux-remoteproc, Danilo Krummrich

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.
