I had checked many unbind/bind pattern/order on 2nd [RFC] patch which I posted.
At first, I believe Oops on unbind/bind issue was solved on it.
2nd, if my understanding was correct, it doesn't have double-free issue,
or something like that.
But, I'm not 100% sure about 2nd, thus it has [RFC] on patch.

Best regards
