NAK, this introduces a use-after-free because the "qspi" allocation
is freed by spi_unregister_master(), yet is subsequently accessed.

You need to convert the driver to devm_spi_alloc_master() to avoid that.
Do it in the same patch to ease backporting.

Please add a stable designation and a Fixes: tag. Chances are the patch
needs to be backported all the way back to the release when the driver
was first introduced.

Thanks,

Lukas
