dpaa2_dev_close() returns a status code, but it isn’t being checked here.

For comparison, in rte_eth_dev_pci_generic_remove(), if dev_uninit
(i.e. the device close callback) fails, rte_eth_dev_release_port() is
not called.
How should the dpaa2 driver handle this kind of error case?

By the way, if it makes sense for you, feel free to add a Tested-by
tag from me, since I’ve validated the series on my side with Grout.
