Do you mean that the above error messages are triggered by an unbind and
bind sequence like below?

$ echo dprc.1 > /sys/bus/fsl-mc/drivers/fsl_mc_dprc/unbind
$ echo dprc.1 > /sys/bus/fsl-mc/drivers/fsl_mc_dprc/bind

I am asking this because I cannot seem to trigger it myself. There is a
misc_deregister() which should remove the char device upon unbinding the
root DPRC.
