From: Lukas Wunner lukas@wunner.de Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2020 09:17:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] spi: pxa2xx: Fix use-after-free on unbind

pxa2xx_spi_remove() accesses the driver's private data after calling spi_unregister_controller() even though that function releases the last reference on the spi_controller and thereby frees the private data.

Fix by switching over to the new devm_spi_alloc_master/slave() helper which keeps the private data accessible until the driver has unbound.
