mtk_hdmi_common_probe() gets the DDC adapter with
of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() and registers a devm action to release the
adapter device reference with put_device().

The HDMI v2 remove callback also calls i2c_put_adapter() on the same DDC
adapter. This is not paired with of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node(): it drops
the adapter device reference before the devm action drops it again, and
it also puts a module reference that was never taken.

Remove the extra i2c_put_adapter() call and drop the now-empty HDMI v2
remove callback. The common devm action releases the adapter device
reference.

No need to resend just to add a tag. It will be added when the patch is
applied.
