When s3c64xx-spi is instantiated from device tree an instance of struct s3c64xx_spi_csinfo is dynamically allocated in the driver. For non-dt platform it is passed from board code through spi_register_board_info(). On error path in s3c64xx_spi_setup() function there is an attempt to free this data struct s3c64xx_spi_csinfo object as it would have been allocated in the driver for both, dt and non-dt based platforms. This leads to following bug when gpio request fails: spi spi1.0: Failed to get /CS gpio [21]: -16 kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3478!

Fix this by freeing controller_data only when dev->of_node is not null.
