From 1f68237865b2f55badbb3f73792d573899a62475 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guenter Roeck Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2012 13:56:27 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] spi/bcm63xx: Ensure that memory is freed only after it is no longer used The call to spi_unregister_master() in the device remove function frees device memory, and with it any device local data. However, device local data is still accessed after the call to spi_unregister_master(). Acquire a reference to the SPI device and release it after cleanup is complete to solve the problem.
