clk: imx8m: Suppress bind attrs

Commit Message

Leonard Crestez Nov. 18, 2019, 10:28 p.m. UTC
The clock drivers on imx8m series are registered as platform devices and
this opens the possibility of reloading the driver at runtime:

This doesn't actually work: clocks are never removed and attempting to
bind again results in registration errors and a crash.

Fix this by explicitly suppressing bind attrs like several other
drivers.

No cc: stable because because there are likely many other opportunities
to crash the system by echoing random stuff in sysfs as root.

Maybe add a comment similar to the motivation in the commit log here?
(And of course in the other files, too.)

Is it really useful to say "disable feature X because it doesn't work" 
right before disabling the feature?

No, but something like:

	/*
	 * disable bind attributes because clocks are never removed and
	 * attempting to rebind results in errors and a crash.
	 */

would be helpful. This way someone wondering about why this is disabled
gets at least an idea what to look for when changing something in that
area or while using the imx driver as a template for the next clock
driver.

Best regards
Uwe
