Although it does no mismatch between driver and device due to the driver
has no of_match_table, I find it has below re-request pinctrl error
after re-bind, that's due to the parent device which has of_node
and there is a pinctrl property in it.

imx6sx-pinctrl 20e0000.iomuxc: pin MX6SX_PAD_GPIO1_IO10 already requested by 2184000.usb;
cannot claim for ci_hdrc.0

After adding your suggestion, this error has gone, thanks.
