devres functions are intended for simplified cleanup of memory and other
software resources on device exit, not for hardware shutdown sequences.
In addition, inducing hardware activity at device removal hamstrings
some drivers (particularly ahci_platform) so that they cannot totally
power off their hardware before removal, as devres cleanup occurs after
the driver's exit() sequence.
More concretely, I experience the following bus error when using rmmod
to remove (and power off) the SATA block on my SoC:
# rmmod ahci_platform.ko
Data bus error, epc == e07c0ca0, ra == e07c0d24
Oops[#1]:
...
Call Trace:
[<e07c0ca0>] ahci_stop_engine+0x28/0x84 [libahci]

[<8007b9e4>] sys_delete_module+0x188/0x2d4
[<8000e6fc>] stack_done+0x20/0x40
This hardware activity pattern seems wrong.
Therefore, I move ata_host_stop() to simply be called as part of the
ata_host_detach() sequence already performed by all SATA drivers at
device exit.
