commit 6c53b45c71b4920b5e62f0ea8079a1da382b9434 upstream.
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")
