+unbind command
+==============
+
+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 at 9010000*
+and using driver rtc-pl031 unbinding and binding of the device is demonstrated
+using the three alternative unbind syntaxes.
