    spi: bcm2835: Fix controller unregister order · 9dd277ff
    Lukas Wunner authored
    The BCM2835 SPI driver uses devm_spi_register_controller() on bind.
    As a consequence, on unbind, __device_release_driver() first invokes
    bcm2835_spi_remove() before unregistering the SPI controller via
    devres_release_all().
    
    This order is incorrect:  bcm2835_spi_remove() tears down the DMA
    channels and turns off the SPI controller, including its interrupts
    and clock.  The SPI controller is thus no longer usable.
    
    When the SPI controller is subsequently unregistered, it unbinds all
    its slave devices.  If their drivers need to access the SPI bus,
    e.g. to quiesce their interrupts, unbinding will fail.
    
    As a rule, devm_spi_register_controller() must not be used if the
    ->remove() hook performs teardown steps which shall be performed
    after unbinding of slaves.
    
    Fix by using the non-devm variant spi_register_controller().  Note that
    the struct spi_controller as well as the driver-private data are not
    freed until after bcm2835_spi_remove() has finished, so accessing them
    is safe.
