spi/pxa2xx pci: fix the release - remove race
Right now the platform device and its platform data is included in one big
struct which requires its custom ->release function. The problem with the
release function within the driver is that it might be called after the
driver was removed because someone was holding a reference to it and it
was not called right after platform_device_unregister(). So we also free
the platform device memory to which one might hold a reference.
This patch uses the normal pdev functions so this kind of race does not
occur.
