pinctrl: samsung: Suppress unbinding to prevent theoretical attacks
Although unbinding a pinctrl driver requires root privileges but it
still might be used theoretically in certain attacks (by triggering NULL
pointer exception or memory corruption).
Samsung pincontrol drivers are essential for system operation so their
removal is not expected. They do not implement remove() driver callback
and they are not buildable as modules.
Suppression of the unbinding will prevent triggering NULL pointer
exception like this (Odroid XU3):
$ echo
13400000.pinctrl > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/samsung-pinctrl/unbind
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
