ARM: 8256/1: driver coamba: add device binding path 'driver_override'

As already demonstrated with PCI [1] and the platform bus [2], a
driver_override property in sysfs can be used to bypass the id
matching of a device to a AMBA driver. This can be used by VFIO to
bind to any AMBA device requested by the user.

+What:		/sys/bus/amba/devices/.../driver_override
+Date:		September 2014
+Contact:	Antonios Motakis <a.motakis@virtualopensystems.com>
+Description:
+		This file allows the driver for a device to be specified which
+		will override standard OF, ACPI, ID table, and name matching.
+		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 vfio-amba > 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.
