If an spi-gpio was specified with num-chipselects = <0> in dts, kernel will crash: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 32697073 pgd = (ptrval) [32697073] *pgd=00000000 Internal error: Oops: 5 [# 1] SMP ARM Modules linked in: CPU: 2 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.19.72 #0 Hardware name: Generic DT based system PC is at validate_desc+0x28/0x80 LR is at gpiod_direction_output+0x14/0x128 ...

The bug is spotted in kernel 4.19.72 on OpenWrt, and does not occur in 4.14. There is a similar fix upstream 249e2632dcd0509b8f8f296f5aabf4d48dfd6da8.
