Subject: [PATCH] spi: stm32: drop devres version of spi_register_master

From: Antonio Borneo <antonio.borneo@...s.st.com>

A call to spi_unregister_master() triggers calling remove()
for all the spi devices binded to the spi master.

Some spi device driver requires to "talk" with the spi device
during the remove(), e.g.:
- a LCD panel like drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-lg-lg4573.c
  will turn off the backlighting sending a command over spi.
This implies that the spi master must be fully functional when
spi_unregister_master() is called, either if it is called
explicitly in the master's remove() code or implicitly by the
devres framework.

Devres calls devres_release_all() to release all the resources
"after" the remove() of the spi master driver (check code of
__device_release_driver() in drivers/base/dd.c).
If the spi master driver has an empty remove() then there would
be no issue; the devres_release_all() will release everything
in reverse order w.r.t. probe().
But if code in spi master driver remove() disables the spi or
makes it not functional (like in this spi-stm32), then devres
cannot be used safely for unregistering the spi master and the
binded spi devices.

Replace devm_spi_register_master() with spi_register_master()
and add spi_unregister_master() as first action in remove().

Fixes: dcbe0d84dfa5 ("spi: add driver for STM32 SPI controller")
