Moreover, since commit 1a9e489e6128 ("spi: spi-geni-qcom: Use OPP API to set clk/perf state"), spi_geni_probe() leaks the spi_master allocation if the calls to dev_pm_opp_set_clkname() or dev_pm_opp_of_add_table() fail. Fix by switching over to the new devm_spi_alloc_master() helper which keeps the private data accessible until the driver has unbound and also avoids the spi_master leak on probe.
