From: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxx> If we fail to create the master queue for some reason we should not attempt to clean it up since attempting to stop a kthread that was not created will hang and it's just generally bad practice. Unfortunately at present we call spi_destroy_queue() even in cases where the creation fails. Fix this by fixing the error handling in spi_master_initialize_queue() so that we only flag the master as queued or destroy the queue if creation succeeded. The change to the flag is done since the general master cleanup uses this to destroy the queue.
