Sry, but manual driver unbind for this driver is really smth unexpected ;(
So, I'm not sure if it need to be implemented and even yes - it should not be
a part of this patch. Probably, smth like "convert driver to be a module".

By the way, I've tried to unbind gpio-omap, result - failure (expected),
as unbind does not take into account module refcnt state.
