Re: How to make device and driver not auto bind when driver load?

[fisherman <ipconfigme@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's my fault, one device only bind with one driver. I just bind two drivers to a device, So return  -NODEV error.

Thanks for your help!

The driver needs to have the device id in the table for bind to work,
you can dynamically write it if it isn't there by using the new_id file.

But this is getting just silly.  What specifically are you wanting to do
with a working driver?  Why are you not wanting to bind this device to
the driver?  What are you wanting to break here? :)

thanks,
