gpio: rockchip: teardown bugs and resource leaks
Address several teardown issues and resource leaks in the driver's remove
path and error handling:
1. Debounce clock reference leak: The debounce clock (bank->db_clk) is
obtained using of_clk_get() which increments the clock's reference
count, but clk_put() is never called. Register a devm action to
cleanly release it on unbind. Note that of_clk_get(..., 1) remains
necessary over devm_clk_get() because the DT binding does not define
clock-names, precluding name-based lookup.
2. Unregistered chained IRQ handler: The chained IRQ handler is not
disconnected in remove(). If a stray interrupt fires after the driver
is removed, the kernel attempts to execute a stale handler, leading
to a panic. Fix this by clearing the handler in remove().
3. IRQ domain leak: The linear IRQ domain and its generic chips are
allocated manually during probe but never removed. Remove the IRQ
domain during driver teardown to free the associated generic chips
and mappings.
