Unless you've got a very specific use case where an unbind makes sense
(like a quad port ethernet card, where you unbind one port and then do
PCI pass through of it to a kvm guest for example) then yes, you should
suppress unbind.  So for most drivers aimed at a single device, or where
being built in but unbinding just makes no sense for any possible use
case, then yes you should set the above.
