Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] mfd: arizona: Disable IRQs during driver remove

As DCVDD will often be supplied by a child node of the MFD, we
can't call mfd_remove_devices as the first step in arizona_dev_exit
as might be expected (tidy up the children before we tidy up the
MFD). We need to disable and put the DCVDD regulator before we call
mfd_remove_devices, to prevent PM runtime from turning this back on we
also need to disable the PM runtime before we do this. Finally we can
not clean up the IRQs until all the MFD children have been removed, as
they may have registered IRQs themselves.

This creates a window of time where the interrupts are enabled but
the PM runtime, on which the IRQ handler depends, is not available,
any interrupts in this window will go unhandled and fill the log with
failed to resume device messages. To avoid this we simply disable the
main IRQ at the start of arizona_dev_exit, we don't need to actually
handle any IRQs in this window as we are removing the driver.
