This commit introduced the bug:
commit 1a77b127ae147f5827043a9896d7f4cb248b402e

OMAP : SPI : use devm_* functions
The various devm_* functions allocate memory that is released when a driver
detaches. This patch uses devm_request_and_ioremap
to request memory in probe function. Since the freeing is not
needed the calls are deleted from remove function.Also use
use devm_kzalloc for the cs memory allocation.
Signed-off-by: Shubhrajyoti D <shubhrajyoti@xxxxxx>
and sure enough, reverting this makes the warning go away.
Specifically, it is this part which is the culpret:
