The patch spi: fix possible deadlock between internal bus locks and bus_lock_flag has been applied to the spi tree at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail.

This will also grab the bus_lock_mutex and may therefore result in a deadlock if __spi_pump_messages also tries to get the mutex. Therefore adapt spi_pump_messages as well as spi_sync to preset the bus_locked parameter according to the master->bus_lock_flag.
