Subject: [PATCH] mmc: meson-gx: Free irq in release() callback

Because the irq was requested through device managed resources API (devm_request_threaded_irq()) it was freed after meson_mmc_remove() completion, thus after mmc_free_host() has reclaimed meson_host memory. As this irq is IRQF_SHARED, while using CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ, its handler get called by free_irq(). So meson_mmc_irq() was called after the meson_host memory reclamation and was using invalid memory.

We ended up with the following scenario:
device_release_driver()

	meson_mmc_remove()
		mmc_free_host() /* Freeing host memory */
	...
	devres_release_all()
		devm_irq_release()
			__free_irq()
				meson_mmc_irq() /* Uses freed memory */

To avoid this, the irq is released in meson_mmc_remove() and in mseon_mmc_probe() error path before mmc_free_host() gets called.
