And what's wrong with the current method of removing drivers from
devices that you do not want them to be bound to? We offer that support
for all busses now that want to do it, what driver types are you needing
to "control" here that does not take advantage of the existing
infrastructure that we currently have for this type of thing?
I'm not sure what mechanism you're referring to here, but in general don't
want the drivers to initialize at all because they might get exploited in
any code that they execute.
That is exactly the mechanism we have today in the kernel for all busses
if they wish to take advantage of it. We have had this for all USB
drivers for well over a decade now, this is not a new feature. Please
use that instead.
Hm, wait, maybe that didn't get merged yet, let me dig...
