mh. maybe a runtime PM issue?

 * external abort on non-linefetch: address cannot be accessed,
   since the module's clocks are disabled
 * built-in works, module not: built-in is probably a little bit
   faster (module must not be loaded from filesystem), so that
   the device has not yet been suspended
 * Before 4.2, omap2_mcspi_set_cs() was called in the setup
   routine, which acquired runtime PM
 * In 4.2, omap2_mcspi_set_cs() seems to be called without a
   prior pm_runtime_get_sync()
 * With your workaround, the device has not yet returned to
   suspend after the runtime PM acquisition in setup()

So I suggest trying the following (compile tested only) patch:
