This patch series add support for using the driver_override sysfs
attribute with WMI devices. The reason for this is that there will
exist a couple of generic WMI drivers in the future for allowing
driver developers to directly access the underlying WMI device.

Since those generic WMI drivers do not have an ID table, the
driver_override mechanism is used to bind them to WMI devices.

Changes since v1:
- Add Reviewed-by tags
- Add line breaks and implement requested changes in the documentation
  of the driver_override attr

  platform/x86: wmi: Add bus ABI documentation

Thank you for your contribution, it has been applied to my local
review-ilpo branch. Note it will show up in the public
platform-drivers-x86/review-ilpo branch only once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.
