It is a common operation if we believe that the old UART which don`t support like this unbind. Or we ignore about this really bug before? What are you trying to do here exactly? Why are you wanting to unbind the driver from this device? Why do you then want to bind it again? What problem are you trying to solve by doing this? thanks, greg k-h
