Or Sasha used generic evalkit board, where SPI by default might not have
any devices attached.

Just looking at these two patches there are no worries:
1. The original patch does not target stable,
2. The fix is only for this cycle.

However it is likely that autosel will pick up these patches so your
questions are good. If I understand code correctly, these two calls
(spi_controller_set_devdata and platform_set_drvdata) can be reordered
freely between allocation and spi_register_controller(). Therefore
moving these calls around should not affect backporting to stable.

I would propose to keep these calls together, either at beginning or
just before spi_register_controller().

Best regards,
Krzysztof
