atcphy_probe_switch() and atcphy_probe_mux() discard the pointers
returned by typec_switch_register() and typec_mux_register(). The
platform driver has no .remove callback, so the registered switch
and mux devices outlive the apple_atcphy struct, which is released
by devm cleanup on driver unbind.

A subsequent typec event (cable orientation change, alt-mode
transition) then invokes the registered atcphy_sw_set() or
atcphy_mux_set() callback, which retrieves the freed apple_atcphy
and dereferences it. Unbind followed by a cable replug or alt-mode
change is enough to trigger the use-after-free.

Save the registered switch and mux and unregister them through
devm_add_action_or_reset() so the framework references disappear in
step with the driver's devm-allocated state. Drop the unused struct
apple_atcphy::sw and ::mux fields, which were declared with the
wrong consumer-side types and never assigned.
