The real question here if those bus types/devices would benefit from this
feature, and I also must confess that I have no knowledge of the other buses.
Can anyone confirm that it does make sense for them?

For PCI, sure the domain:bus:dev.func is unique, for platform I have no idea,
can anyone that knows "platform" confirm or deny?

The way I see it is simple, the override specified in kernel command line
last as long as the user does not specifically remove it using
echo "" > /sys/.../driver_override
and then unbind and bind the device again.

Please see above

While it does not hurt, I see it as optional since a simple removal of
driver_override and rebind does the same
