When a spi device is unregistered and triggers a driver unbind, the driver might need to access the spi device. So, don't have the controller clean up the spi device before the driver is unbound. Clean up the spi device after the driver is unbound. Fixes: c7299fea6769 ("spi: Fix spi device unregister flow") Reported-by: Lukas Wunner <lukas@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Saravana Kannan <saravanak@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v1->v2: - Made the clean up more symmetric. Lukas, Can you test this one your end to make sure you don't have issues anymore?
