Subject: [PATCH 6.6 578/638] spi: lpspi: Avoid potential use-after-free in probe()

From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@...mens.com>

[ Upstream commit 2ae0ab0143fcc06190713ed81a6486ed0ad3c861 ]

fsl_lpspi_probe() is allocating/disposing memory manually with
spi_alloc_host()/spi_alloc_target(), but uses
devm_spi_register_controller(). In case of error after the latter call the
memory will be explicitly freed in the probe function by
spi_controller_put() call, but used afterwards by "devm" management outside
probe() (spi_unregister_controller() <- devm_spi_unregister() below).

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000070
