From: Lukas Wunner <lukas@xxxxxxxxx> commit 4def49da620c84a682d9361d6bef0a97eed46fe0 upstream. Normally the last reference on an spi_controller is released by spi_unregister_controller(). In the case of the i.MX lpspi driver, the spi_controller is registered with devm_spi_register_controller(), so spi_unregister_controller() is invoked automatically after the driver has unbound. However the driver already releases the last reference in fsl_lpspi_remove() through a gratuitous call to spi_master_put(), causing a use-after-free when spi_unregister_controller() is subsequently invoked by the devres framework. Fix by dropping the superfluous spi_master_put().
