If we pass a software node to a newly created device using struct
platform_device_info, it will not be removed when the device is
released. This may happen when a module creating the device is removed
or on failure in platform_device_add().
When we try to reuse that software node in a subsequent call to
platform_device_register_full(), it will fails with -EBUSY. Add the
missing call to device_remove_software_node() in release path.
Make sure that we still function correctly if a software node is used as
the primary firmware node.
Fixes: 0fc434bc2c45 ("driver core: platform: allow attaching software nodes
when creating devices")
