ucc_hdlc_probe() registers an HDLC netdev whose private pointer refers to
the separately allocated ucc_hdlc_private object. The remove path frees
that private object without unregistering or freeing the netdev, leaving
a registered device with a dangling private pointer.

Unregister the HDLC device before releasing hardware resources. This
closes an active interface through ndo_stop, which disables NAPI, stops
the UCC, and frees its IRQ. Then free the netdev before releasing its
private object.
