[PATCH RESEND] mtd: fsl-quadspi: Fix module unbound

From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam at freescale.com>

When removing the fsl-quadspi module and running 'cat /proc/mtd' afterwards,
we see garbage data like:

$ rmmod  fsl-quadspi
$ cat /proc/mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00000000 00000000 "(null)"
mtd0: 00000000 00000000 "(null)"
mtd0: 00000000 00000000 "(null)"
...
mtd0: a22296c6c756e28 00000000 "(null)"
mtd0: a22296c6c756e28 3064746d "(null)"

If we continue doing multiple module load/unload operations, then it will also 
lead to a kernel crash.

The reason for this is due to the wrong mtd index used in
mtd_device_unregister() in the remove function.

We need to keep the mtd unregister index aligned with the one used in the probe
function, which means we need to take into account the 'has_second_chip'
property. By doing so we can guarantee that the mtd index is the same in the
registration and unregistration functions.

With this patch applied we can load/unload the fsl-quadspi driver several times
and it will result in no crash.
