Subject: [PATCH] spi: pxa2xx: Fix use-after-free on unbind
pxa2xx_spi_remove() accesses the driver's private data after calling
spi_unregister_controller() even though that function releases the last
reference on the spi_controller and thereby frees the private data.
Fix by switching over to the new devm_spi_alloc_master/slave() helper
which keeps the private data accessible until the driver has unbound.
