Because no use case was proposed, the dynamic driver binding support was removed as well. The atmel_serial driver can manage up to 7 serial controllers, which are multiplexed with other functions. For example, in the Atmel SAMA5D2, the Flexcom controllers can work as USART, SPI or I2C controllers, and on all Atmel devices serial lines can be reconfigured as GPIOs. My use case uses GPIOs to transfer a firmware update using a custom protocol on the lines used as a serial port during the normal life of the device. If it is not possible to unbind the atmel_serial driver, the GPIO lines remain reserved and prevent this case from working. This patch reinstates the atmel_serial_remove function, and fixes it as it failed to clear the "clk" field on removal, triggering an oops when a device was bound again after being unbound.
