Subject: [ 95/95] spi/pxa2xx: fix memory corruption due to wrong size used in devm_kzalloc()

3.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@...ux.intel.com>

commit cc0ee9873c6afafb387379ca1df25da78a08c603 upstream.

ACPI part of the driver accidentally used sizeof(*ssp) instead of the
correct sizeof(*pdata). This leads to nasty memory corruptions like the one
below:

Fix this by using the right structure size in devm_kzalloc().
