Needed by platform device drivers, such as the upcoming vfio-platform driver, in order to bypass the existing OF, ACPI, id_table and name string matches, and successfully be able to be bound to any device, like so: echo vfio-platform > /sys/bus/platform/devices/fff51000.ethernet/driver_override echo fff51000.ethernet > /sys/bus/platform/devices/fff51000.ethernet/driver/unbind echo fff51000.ethernet > /sys/bus/platform/drivers_probe This mimics "PCI: Introduce new device binding path using pci_dev.driver_override", which is an interface enhancement for more deterministic PCI device binding, e.g., when in the presence of hotplug.
