Dear Andrew,

Thanks a lot for your help, and I have a question below.

Do you mean that I should put this 'free_irq()' in the front of
w90p910_spi_remove？

such as:
"
free_irq(hw->irq, hw);

platform_set_drvdata(dev, NULL);

spi_unregister_master(hw->master);

clk_disable(hw->clk);
clk_put(hw->clk);
"
