Because once you did unbind the device you are stuck (unless the driver
is compiled as a module, but then you could just unload the module
instead of unbinding). Disallowing unbind would allow discarding not
only __devinit but __devexit sections when driver is built in which
would make ebedded people happy[^Hier].
