Commit 0e7df224 ("PCI: Add sysfs sriov_drivers_autoprobe to control VF driver binding") introduced the sriov_drivers_autoprobe attribute which allows users to prevent the kernel from automatically probing a driver for new VFs as they are created. This allows VFs to be spawned without automatically binding the new device to a host driver, such as in cases where the user intends to use the device only with a meta driver like vfio-pci. However, the current implementation prevents any use of drivers_probe with the VF while sriov_drivers_autoprobe=0. This blocks the now current general practice of setting driver_override followed by using drivers_probe to bind a device to a specified driver. The kernel never automatically sets a driver_override therefore it seems we can assume a driver_override reflects the intent of the user. Also, probing a device using a driver_override match seems outside the scope of the 'auto' part of sriov_drivers_autoprobe. Therefore, let's allow driver_override matches regardless of sriov_drivers_autoprobe, which we can do by simply testing if a driver_override is set for a device as a 'can probe' condition.
