AMBA devices still keep driver_override in bus-private storage. The sysfs write side updates that string through driver_set_override(), which replaces the pointer and frees the old value. However, driver_match_device() can call amba_match() from __driver_attach() without holding the device lock, and amba_match() still dereferences that private pointer directly. That means a bind/unbind or reprobe path can race with a concurrent driver_override update and make amba_match() compare against freed memory. Fix this by switching AMBA to the driver-core driver_override infrastructure. This lets the core own the sysfs attribute and storage, and uses device_match_driver_override() for the locked read in the match path.
