Subject: [PATCH] spi/pxa2xx: Clear cur_chip pointer before starting next message

Once the current message is finished, the driver notifies SPI core about
this by calling spi_finalize_current_message(). This function queues next
message to be transferred. If there are more messages in the queue, it is
possible that the driver is asked to transfer the next message at this
point.

When spi_finalize_current_message() returns the driver clears the
drv_data->cur_chip pointer to NULL. The problem is that if the driver
already started the next message clearing drv_data->cur_chip will cause
NULL pointer dereference which crashes the kernel like:

Fix this by clearing drv_data->cur_chip before we call spi_finalize_current_message().
