Thanks for point out this! Usually there is an increment refcount in a 
_probe function and a decrement refcount in a _remove function. Sometimes 
the refcount decrement is in the _probe and the increment is in the _remove. 
But the refcount is balanced in both cases. So I think zynqmp_qspi_remove()
needs a refcount increment to fix this bug.
