On device removal there is no access to device node properties, thus it
is not possible to find out which of CS timings was configured for this
device to clear theirs 'is_applied'.

So, if we apply one DT overlay, configure some CS timings, remove this
overlay, apply another with conflicting timings, we will fail here

static int weim_timing_setup(...)
{
	...

	for (reg_idx = 0; reg_idx < num_regs; reg_idx++) {
		...

		/* prevent re-configuring a CS that's already been configured */
		cst = &ts->cs[cs_idx];
		if (cst->is_applied && memcmp(value, cst->regs,
					devtype->cs_regs_count * sizeof(u32))) {
			dev_err(dev, "fsl,weim-cs-timing conflict on %pOF", np);
			return -EINVAL;
		}
		...
	}
	...
}
