Subject: [PATCH] spi: uniphier: fix controller deregistration

Make sure to deregister the controller before releasing underlying
resources like DMA during driver unbind.

Note that clocks were also disabled before the recent commit
fdca270f8f87 ("spi: uniphier: Simplify clock handling with
devm_clk_get_enabled()").

Fixes: 5ba155a4d4cc ("spi: add SPI controller driver for UniPhier SoC")
