commit 6a97cee39d8f2ed4d6e35a09a302dae1d566db36 upstream.

This reverts commit cefdd52fa0455c0555c30927386ee466a108b060.

On sc7180-trogdor class devices with 'fw_devlink=permissive' and KASAN
enabled, you'll see a Use-After-Free reported at bootup.

The root of the problem is that dwc3_qcom_of_register_core() is adding
a devm-allocated "tx-fifo-resize" property to its device tree node
using of_add_property().

The issue is that of_add_property() makes a _permanent_ addition to
the device tree that lasts until reboot. That means allocating memory
for the property using "devm" managed memory is a terrible idea since
that memory will be freed upon probe deferral or device unbinding.

Let's revert the patch since the system is still functional without
it. The fact that of_add_property() makes a permanent change is extra
fodder for those folks who were aruging that the device tree isn't
really the right way to pass information between parts of the
driver. It is an exercise left to the reader to submit a patch
re-adding the new feature in a way that makes everyone happier.
