USB-serial drivers must not be unbound from their ports before the
corresponding USB driver is unbound from the parent interface so
suppress the bind and unbind attributes.

Unbinding a serial driver while it's port is open is a sure way to
trigger a crash as any driver state is released on unbind while port
hangup is handled on the parent USB interface level. Drivers for
multiport devices where ports share a resource such as an interrupt
endpoint also generally cannot handle individual ports going away.

We can still unbind the usb driver though, right?  If so, this is fine
with me.

thanks,

Right, this is only about disabling individual ports, something which
essentially no subdriver can handle while a port is open (e.g. port-data
set to NULL while port is still open... boom).

Ok, thanks for verifying, and sorry for writing that bug in the first
place :)
