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().

[1/1] spi: lpspi: Fix use-after-free on unbind
      commit: 4def49da620c84a682d9361d6bef0a97eed46fe0

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
