Subject: [PATCH 7/7] soundwire: bus: Fix premature removal of sdw_slave objects

When the bus manager is removed sdw_bus_master_delete() should not
be deleting the struct sdw_slave objects until the bus manager has
been stopped. The first step of removing child drivers should only
be calling device_unregister() on the child. The counterpart to
sdw_drv_probe() is sdw_drv_remove(), not sdw_delete_slave().

The sdw_slave objects are created by the bus manager probe() from
ACPI/DT information. They are not created when a child driver probes
so should not be deleted by a child driver remove.
