Hi Alex, sorry I didn't understand how we are accessing device memory here if
the C2C_LINK_BAR0_OFFSET and HBM_TRAINING_BAR0_OFFSET are BAR0 regs.
But anyways, I tried 'echo 0 > <sysfs_path>/enable' before device bind. I am not
observing any issue and the bind goes through.
Or am I missing something?
