From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski at linaro.org>

Commit 49725ffc15fc ("net: stmmac: power up/down serdes in
stmmac_open/release") correctly added a call to the serdes_powerdown()
callback to stmmac_release() but did not remove the one from
stmmac_remove() which leads to a doubled call to serdes_powerdown().

This can lead to all kinds of problems: in the case of the qcom ethqos
driver, it caused an unbalanced regulator disable splat.

Fixes: 49725ffc15fc ("net: stmmac: power up/down serdes in stmmac_open/release")
