[PATCH v2] rpmsg: Add driver_override device attribute for rpmsg_device

[Anup Patel]

This patch adds "driver_override" device attribute for rpmsg_device which
will allow users to explicitly specify the rpmsg_driver to be used via
sysfs entry.

The "driver_override" device attribute implemented here is very similar
to "driver_override" implemented for platform, pci, and amba bus types.

One important use-case of "driver_override" device attribute is to force
use of rpmsg_chrdev driver for certain rpmsg_device instances.

Signed-off-by: Anup Patel <anup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes since v1:
 - Removed un-related changes from patch
 - Renamed "path" to "member" in rpmsg_string_attr() macro
 - Used strcspn() instead of strchr() in rpmsg_string_attr() macro

+Description:
+		Every rpmsg device is a communication channel with a remote
+		processor. Channels are identified by a textual name (see
+		/sys/bus/rpmsg/devices/.../name above) and have a local
+		("source") rpmsg address, and remote ("destination") rpmsg
+		address.
+
+		The listening entity (or client) which communicates with a
+		remote processor is referred as rpmsg driver. The rpmsg device
+		and rpmsg driver are matched based on rpmsg device name and
+		rpmsg driver ID table.
+
+		This sysfs entry allows the rpmsg driver for a rpmsg device
+		to be specified which will override standard OF, ID table
+		and name matching.
