When a buffer is queued, it is owned by the device until the transfer
callback (ul_cb/dl_cb) is called. mhi_unprepare_from_transfer() causes
the MHI channels to be reset which in turn leads to releasing the
buffers, for each buffer the MHI core will call the mhi-net transfer
callback with -ENOTCONN status, and we free it from here.

The skbs are released in remove() (mhi_unprepare_from_transfer), I do
not do prepare/unprepare in ndo_open/ndo_stop because we need to have
channels started during the whole life of the interface. That's
because it set up kind of internal routing of on the device/modem
side. Indeed, if channels are not started, configuration of the modem
(via out-of-band qmi, at commands, etc) is not possible.

Yes will fix that.
