[PATCH v3] spi: fsl-dspi: fix NULL pointer dereference

From: Michael Walle
Date: Mon Sep 28 2020 - 04:56:02 EST


Since commit 530b5affc675 ("spi: fsl-dspi: fix use-after-free in remove
path") this driver causes a kernel oops:

[ 1.891065] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000080

This is because since this commit, the allocation of the drivers private
data is done explicitly and in this case spi_alloc_master() won't set the
correct pointer.

Also move the platform_set_drvdata() to have both next to each other.
