Can we fix them all at the same time as you fix Rockchip? Maybe we
should have a series that adds ".suppress_bind_attrs = true" to all
these drivers, including Rockchip. Then you could have this current
series to make Rockchip modular on top, if there's still value in it.
If we find a common problem, I'd like to fix it everywhere we know
about so it doesn't get forgotten or copied to even more places.
