commit 0913ec336a6c0c4a2b296bd9f74f8e41c4c83c8c upstream.
When SMP is enabled and spinlocks are actually functional then there is a deadlock with the 'statelock' spinlock between ks8851_start_xmit_spi and ks8851_irq:

This issue has not been identified earlier because tests were done on a device with SMP disabled and so spinlocks were actually NOPs.
Now use spin_(un)lock_bh for TX queue related locking to avoid execution of softirq work synchronously that would lead to a deadlock.
