??? Is that really true? I didn't know that

I initially followed drivers/virt/coco/sev-guest/sev-guest.c to figure out how to clean a driver registered with module_platform_driver_probe(), then I saw that pattern with the same comment is used in several other drivers.


I thought you could unbind anything using /sys/../unbind?

I can't see `unbind` for this driver:

  $ ls /sys/bus/platform/drivers/tpm-svsm/
  module        tpm-svsm  uevent

While I can see it for example for others like fw_cfg:

  $ ls /sys/bus/platform/drivers/fw_cfg
  bind  module  QEMU0002:00  uevent  unbind

BTW I can unload the `tpm-svsm` module. Loading it again will cause issues if I don't have a remove function that calls tpm_chip_unregister().

Thanks,
Stefano
