Unbind one driver and bind another.  It was discussed in this list.  

Sure, it would be nice to have a module/kernel parameter to prevent
automatic binding of the driver to any devices.  That would eliminate
the need to unbind drivers, as well as obviate the risk that the wrong
driver would do something wrong with the device.  It was discussed as
well, but it hasn't been implemented so far.
