I do not think so:

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

> drivers/video/fbdev/atmel_lcdfb.c:      .remove         = __exit_p(atmel_lcdfb_remove),

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,


> drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/omapfb/vrfb.c:        .remove         = __exit_p(vrfb_remove),

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

Thanks.
