Subject: [PATCH 09/12] s390/cio: use generic driver_override infrastructure

From: Danilo Krummrich <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 01:59:13 +0100

When a driver is probed through __driver_attach(), the bus' match()
callback is called without the device lock held, thus accessing the
driver_override field without a lock, which can cause a UAF.

Fix this by using the driver-core driver_override infrastructure taking
care of proper locking internally.

Note that calling match() from __driver_attach() without the device lock
held is intentional. [1]
