Hi Danilo, Greg,

Thanks for the pointers.

Understood. Since this is already being addressed in driver-core-next
through the generic driver_override infrastructure, and the
device_lock(driver_match_device()) approach was reverted for the reasons
you pointed out, I will not resend this patch.

I will retest the original issue on the latest tree and only follow up
again if there is still a remaining problem with the current
driver_override infrastructure.

Thanks,
Runyu
