NAME
       driver_find - locate driver on a bus by its name.

SYNOPSIS
       struct device_driver * driver_find(const char * name, struct bus_type * bus);

ARGUMENTS
       name
           name of the driver.

       bus
           bus to scan for the driver.

DESCRIPTION
       Call kset_find_obj to iterate over list of drivers on a bus to find driver by name. Return
       driver if found.

       This routine provides no locking to prevent the driver it returns from being unregistered
       or unloaded while the caller is using it. The caller is responsible for preventing this.
