From: Marcin Wojtas <mw@xxxxxxxxxxxx> The spi-orion driver disables its clocks whenever it is not used. In usual case during boot (i.e. using SPI flash) it is not a problem, as the child device driver is present and probed along with spi_register_master() execution. However in case the child device driver is not ready (e.g. when its type is module_spi_driver) the spi_setup() callback can be called after the spi-orion probe. It may happen, that as a result there will be an attempt to access controller's registers with the clocks disabled. Prevent such situations and make sure the clocks are on, each time the spi_setup() is called.
