commit 3c2e2266a5bd2d1cef258e6e54dca1d99946379f upstream.
arm:pxa_defconfig can result in the following crash if the max1111 driver
is not instantiated.
Unhandled fault: page domain fault (0x01b) at 0x00000000

This can occur because the SPI controller driver (SPI_PXA2XX) is built as
module and thus not necessarily loaded. While building SPI_PXA2XX into the
kernel would make the problem disappear, it appears prudent to ensure that
the driver is instantiated before accessing its data structures.
