[Package Request] - driverctl

[talawahtech]

What package is missing from Amazon Linux 2022? Please describe and include package name.

driverctl is a tool for manipulating and inspecting the system device driver choices. driverctl integrates with udev to support overriding driver selection for both cold- and hotplugged devices from the moment of discovery, but can also change already assigned drivers, assuming they are not in use by the system. The driver overrides created by driverctl are persistent across system reboots by default.
