[RFC 0/3] Support autoloading of non-PCI drivers

[Thierry Reding]

This series introduces a new configuration section, OutputClass, which
can be used to match an output device against a set of attributes and
pass in additional configuration. The idea is that each DDX module for
output drivers can ship configuration snippets that give a hint as to
what devices they support.

Patch 1 is preparatory work to store the name of a device's kernel
driver for later use.

Patch 2 adds the new OutputClass section that for now only supports
matching by kernel driver name and providing the name of the DDX module
to load for a matching device.

Patch 3 in this series makes use of these configuration snippets to
auto-load drivers for a particular device.
