I have to ask why this is even needed in the first place. To take the
example in [2], what's wrong with:
echo fff51000.ethernet
/sys/bus/platform/devices/fff51000.ethernet/driver/unbind
echo fff51000.ethernet /sys/bus/platform/drivers/vfio-platform/bind
and similar for AMBA.
All we would need to do is to introduce a way of having a driver accept
explicit bind requests.
In any case:
+static ssize_t driver_override_store(struct device *_dev,
+ struct device_attribute *attr,
+ const char *buf, size_t count)
+{
+ struct amba_device *dev = to_amba_device(_dev);
+ char *driver_override, *old = dev-driver_override, *cp;
+
+ if (count PATH_MAX)
+ return -EINVAL;
+
+ driver_override = kstrndup(buf, count, GFP_KERNEL);
+ if (!driver_override)
+ return -ENOMEM;
+
+ cp = strchr(driver_override, '\n');
+ if (cp)
+ *cp = '\0';
I hope that is not replicated everywhere. This allows up to a page to be
allocated, even when the first byte may be a newline. This is wasteful.
How about:
if (count PATH_MAX)
return -EINVAL;
cp = strnchr(buf, count, '\n');
if (cp)
count = cp - buf - 1;
if (count) {
driver_override = kstrndup(buf, count, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!driver_override)
return -ENOMEM;
} else {
driver_override = NULL;
}
kfree(dev-driver_override);
dev-driver_override = driver_override;
I implemented something along this lines and tested it a bit. The
kernel already splits the input by newlines, and the function is being
called for each one separately; so this change doesn't save any
memory.
Also:
+static ssize_t driver_override_show(struct device *_dev,
+ struct device_attribute *attr, char *buf)
+{
+ struct amba_device *dev = to_amba_device(_dev);
+
+ return sprintf(buf, %s\n, dev-driver_override);
+}
Do we really want to do a NULL pointer dereference here?

I don't have strong feelings on whether it should be done one way or
the other, however the approach proposed here is identical to the one
already accepted in mainline for PCI and platform devices. Should we
do something different for AMBA?
In any case:
