Actually there is already the suppress_bind_attr flag in struct
device_driver.  For a simple platform driver like snd-soc-rcar, it's
easy like:

diff --git a/sound/soc/sh/rcar/core.c b/sound/soc/sh/rcar/core.c
index 3351a701c60e..d019824927de 100644
--- a/sound/soc/sh/rcar/core.c
+++ b/sound/soc/sh/rcar/core.c
@@ -1251,6 +1251,7 @@ static struct platform_driver rsnd_driver = {
 	.driver	= {
 		.name	= "rcar_sound",
 		.of_match_table = rsnd_of_match,
+		.suppress_bind_attrs = true,
 	},
 	.probe		= rsnd_probe,
 	.remove		= rsnd_remove,

Then there will be no sysfs bind/unbind for this driver.
(Note: totally untested: let me know if it really works.)

The same technique is likely available for i2c and spi codec drivers.
But it's another open question whether we should suppress the sysfs
bind/unbind of these devices at all.  My gut feeling is that sysfs
bind/unbind are mostly useless for drivers like ASoC codecs.  At
least, it would be much safer to disable for now.
