Hi Linus,

Please pull these driver-core fixes.

All commits have been in linux-next for a couple rounds; no conflicts expected.

(I will send out fixes for the remaining busses subsequently, so they can reach
you through the corresponding subsystem trees -- treewide commit [1] for
reference.)

driver core: platform: use generic driver_override infrastructure (2026-03-17 20:30:57 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Driver core fixes for 7.0-rc5

- Generalize driver_override in the driver core, providing a common
sysfs implementation and concurrency-safe accessors for bus
implementations

- Do not use driver_override as IRQ name in the hwmon axi-fan driver

- Remove an unnecessary driver_override check in sh platform_early

- Migrate the platform bus to use the generic driver_override
infrastructure, fixing a UAF condition caused by accessing the
driver_override field without proper locking in the platform_match()
callback

----------------------------------------------------------------
Danilo Krummrich (5):
driver core: generalize driver_override in struct device
docs: driver-model: document driver_override
hwmon: axi-fan: don't use driver_override as IRQ name
sh: platform_early: remove pdev->driver_override check
driver core: platform: use generic driver_override infrastructure
