+
+Synopsis
+--------
+

+    unbind <node path>
+    unbind <class> <index>
+    unbind <class> <index> <driver>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The unbind command is used to unbind a device from a driver. This makes the
+device unavailable in U-Boot.
+
+node path
+    path of the device's device-tree node
+
+class
+    device class name
+
+index
+    index of the device in the device class
+
+driver
+    device driver name
+
+Example
+-------
+
+Given a system with a real time clock device with device path */pl031@9010000*
+and using driver rtc-pl031 unbinding and binding of the device is demonstrated
+using the three alternative unbind syntaxes.
