I do not think so:

Registered as module_platform_driver_probe(), which ends up suppressing
sysfs bind/unbind attributes.

Registered as module_platform_driver_probe(), which ends up suppressing
sysfs bind/unbind attributes.

As far as I can see all omapfb/displays/ drivers explicitly disable
bind/unbind attributes by setting:

.suppress_bind_attrs = true,

Registered as module_platform_driver_probe(), which ends up suppressing
sysfs bind/unbind attributes.

Thanks.
