spi: stm32: drop devres version of spi_register_master
A call to spi_unregister_master() triggers calling remove() for all the spi devices binded to the spi master. Some spi device driver requires to "talk" with the spi device during the remove(), e.g.: - a LCD panel like drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-lg-lg4573.c will turn off the backlighting sending a command over spi. This implies that the spi master must be fully functional when spi_unregister_master() is called, either if it is called explicitly in the master's remove() code or implicitly by the devres framework. Devres calls devres_release_all() to release all the resources "after" the remove() of the spi master driver (check code of __device_release_driver() in drivers/base/dd.c). If the spi master driver has an empty remove() then there would be no issue; the devres_release_all() will release everything in reverse order w.r.t. probe(). But if code in spi master driver remove() disables the spi or makes it not functional (like in this spi-stm32), then devres cannot be used safely for unregistering the spi master and the binded spi devices. Replace devm_spi_register_master() with spi_register_master() and add spi_unregister_master() as first action in remove().
