Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: suppress driver bind attributes
Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2020 17:07:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200116160705.5199-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)

USB-serial drivers must not be unbound from their ports before the
corresponding USB driver is unbound from the parent interface so
suppress the bind and unbind attributes.

Unbinding a serial driver while it's port is open is a sure way to
trigger a crash as any driver state is released on unbind while port
hangup is handled on the parent USB interface level. Drivers for
multiport devices where ports share a resource such as an interrupt
endpoint also generally cannot handle individual ports going away.
