CVE-2024-26963: usb: dwc3-am62: fix module unload/reload behavior

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: dwc3-am62: fix module unload/reload behavior

As runtime PM is enabled, the module can be runtime suspended when .remove() is called.

Do a pmruntimegetsync() to make sure module is active before doing any register operations.

Doing a pmruntimeputsync() should disable the refclk so no need to disable it again.

Fixes the below warning at module removel.

[ 39.705310] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 39.710004] clk:162:3 already disabled [ 39.713941] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 921 at drivers/clk/clk.c:1090 clkcoredisable+0xb0/0xb8

We called ofplatformpopulate() in .probe() so call the cleanup function ofplatformdepopulate() in .remove(). Get rid of the now unnnecessary dwc3tiremovecore(). Without this, module re-load doesn't work properly.
