0day reported a warning during boot:

    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at drivers/base/core.c:251 device_release+0x7d/0x8a
    Device '(null)' does not have a release() function, it is broken
and must be fixed.

This is caused by moving the setup of master->dev.class.
To fix this, I can
  1) Introduce a separate spi_alloc_slave() function, which sets up
     spi_slave_class instead of spi_master class,
  OR
  2) Keep the setup of spi_master_class in spi_alloc_master(), and override it
     later. Both classes use the same dev_release method anyway.
