This means that a failed bind can't be reattempted later. It also means that an unbind plus rebind in userspace will free the platform data leaving stale pointers behind. This is totally nonsense.

Right, I just seemed to have overlooked the fact that p was pointing to platform data. Will remove all the kfree(p) and kfree(d) across the driver (I just realized this is also the case in .remove) > > This is totally nonsense.

kfree of 'p' followed by kfree of 'd' where d = p->dma_attr certainly seems wrong.
