4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 69bf5313035926b0b6a6578de4f3168a8f5c19b8 upstream.
In case the device is not connected it doesn't 'get'
hw module and hence should not 'put' it on disable.

Fixes:'commit 257355a44b99 ("mei: make module referencing local to the bus.c")'
