Yes you're right of course...

But another way to get rid of the dilemma is to set
.suppress_bind_attrs = true on the .driver field of the
device driver. The one can't unbind it through sysfs anymore.

.driver = {
.name = "foo",
.suppress_bind_attrs = true,
},

So one of them need to be done.

I suspect this is a kind of common problem...
