[PATCH v3] can: tcan4x5x: put tcan into sleep when removing driver

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Put the tcan4x5x transceiver into sleep mode when the driver is
removed, instead of leaving it in its current operating mode.
This reduces power consumption(3mA@12V) once the driver is
no longer bound to the device.

Changes since v1:
 - Moved enter sleep mode into tcan4x5x_power_enable()

Changes since v2:
 - Added comment about RST pin
 - Fixed all calls to tcan4x5x_power_enable()
