hmmm, I am pretty sure I have seen that issue a few time (below is command line output) but now I am not getting any error reported. Although device is not binding to driver because of sysfs_bind_only as you mentioned (I thought of this as a second issue). If I will be able to reproduce the first issue then I will let you guys know otherwise there was no first issue :(
