Re: [PATCH net v2] net: airoha: Remove airoha_dev_stop() in airoha_remove()

Do not run airoha_dev_stop routine explicitly in airoha_remove()
since ndo_stop() callback is already executed by unregister_netdev() in
__dev_close_many routine if necessary and, doing so, we will end up causing
an underflow in the qdma users atomic counters. Rely on networking subsystem
to stop the device removing the airoha_eth module.
