net: renesas: rswitch: add passing of rswitch_private into notifiers

This commit updates the notifier registration functions to accept a pointer
to the rswitch_private structure, allowing the handlers to access the
hardware.

If rswitch_register_notifiers() fails here, does this error path skip
cleaning up the initialization performed earlier by rswitch_init()?

It looks like rswitch_init() registers network devices, but this error path
returns directly without calling rswitch_deinit() or the runtime PM puts.

Since priv is allocated using devm_kzalloc, the memory will be automatically
freed when the probe fails. Could this result in a use-after-free if those
dangling network interfaces are subsequently brought up or receive packets?
