Commit 6098475d4cb4 ("spi: Fix deadlock when adding SPI controllers on SPI buses") introduced a per-controller mutex. But mutex_unlock() of said lock is called after the controller is already freed: spi_unregister_controller(ctlr) -> put_device(&ctlr->dev) -> spi_controller_release(dev) mutex_unlock(&ctrl->add_lock) Move the put_device() after the mutex_unlock(). Fixes: 6098475d4cb4 ("spi: Fix deadlock when adding SPI controllers on SPI buses") Signed-off-by: Michael Walle <michael@xxxxxxxx> --- I'm not sure if this is the correct fix. I don't know if the put_device() will have to be protected by the add_lock (remember before, the add_lock was a global lock).
