vmware_guest, cdrom state: absent does not work

[fs30000]

SUMMARY

On the module vmware_guest, using state: absent on the cdrom sub-module does not work. In fact, if there is no cdrom on the VM it does precisely the opposite, it adds one to the VM!

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

    - name: Remove cdrom/iso
      community.vmware.vmware_guest:
        hostname: "{{ vcenter_host }}"
        username: "{{ vcenter_username }}"
        password: "{{ vcenter_password }}"
        datacenter: "{{ vcenter_datacenter }}"
        validate_certs: false
        name: "{{ template_servers.hostname }}"
        cdrom:
          type: iso
          iso_path: '{{ iso }}'
          state: "absent"

This even adds the cdrom!

Using type: none, does not remove it as well. With just cdrom: and state: absent, it fails and asks for type.

EXPECTED RESULTS

To remove the cdrom.

ACTUAL RESULTS

Does not remove the cdrom, it even adds it.
