Nope, sorry, the driver needs to be fixed. What broken driver are you needing this for? Also realize, only root can unbind drivers (and it can also unload modules), so if the root user really wants to do this, it can, and should be possible to. sorry, greg k-h

When you physically remove a device (e.g. unplug it) then there is nothing in software you can do to prevent that.

Currently, drivers have no mechanism to block requests to unbind devices. However, this can cause resource leaks and leave the device in an inconsistent state, such that rebinding the device may cause a hang or otherwise prevent the device from being rebound. So, introduce the can_remove() callback to allow drivers to indicate if it isn't appropriate to remove a device at the given time.
