Description:
This file determines whether new devices are immediately bound
to a driver after the creation. It initially contains 1, which
means the kernel automatically binds devices to a compatible
driver immediately after they are created.
Writing "0" to this file disable this feature, any other string
enable it.

Description:
Writing a device name to this file will cause the kernel binds
devices to a compatible driver.
This can be useful when /sys/bus/vdpa/drivers_autoprobe is
disabled.

Description:
Writing a device name to this file will cause the driver to
attempt to bind to the device. This is useful for overriding
default bindings.

Description:
Writing a device name to this file will cause the driver to
attempt to unbind from the device. This may be useful when
overriding default bindings.
What: /sys/bus/vdpa/devices/.../driver_override
Date: November 2021
Contact: [email protected]
Description:
This file allows the driver for a device to be specified.
When specified, only a driver with a name matching the value
written to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind to
the device. The override is specified by writing a string to the
driver_override file (echo vhost-vdpa > driver_override) and may
be cleared with an empty string (echo > driver_override).
This returns the device to standard matching rules binding.
Writing to driver_override does not automatically unbind the
device from its current driver or make any attempt to
automatically load the specified driver. If no driver with a
matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, the device will
not bind to any driver. This also allows devices to opt-out of
driver binding using a driver_override name such as "none".
Only a single driver may be specified in the override, there is
no support for parsing delimiters.
