From: Patrice Chotard <patrice.chotard@xxxxxx> spi_master_put() must only be called in .probe() in case of error. As devm_spi_register_master() is used during probe, spi_master_put() mustn't be called in .remove() callback. It fixes the following kernel WARNING/Oops when executing echo "58003000.spi" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/stm32-qspi/unbind : ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 496 at
