I've now created this, it's based off of 4.12 and can be found at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git/ bind_unbind

If there are any problems with it, please let me know.

I've also pulled this branch into my driver_core-next branch so that I
can base stuff off of it as well. Heck, I might go fix up some USB
drivers now too, so it might end up there...

thanks,
