[PATCH spi] spi: spi-fsl-lpspi: fix teardown order issue (UAF)

[Marc Kleine-Budde]

There is a teardown order issue in the driver. The SPI controller is
registered using devm_spi_register_controller(), which delays
unregistration of the SPI controller until after the fsl_lpspi_remove()
function returns.

As the fsl_lpspi_remove() function synchronously tears down the DMA
channels, a running SPI transfer triggers the following NULL pointer
dereference due to use after free:

| fsl_lpspi 42550000.spi: I/O Error in DMA RX
| Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
[...]
| Call trace:
|  fsl_lpspi_dma_transfer+0x260/0x340 [spi_fsl_lpspi]
|  fsl_lpspi_transfer_one+0x198/0x448 [spi_fsl_lpspi]
|  spi_transfer_one_message+0x49c/0x7c8
|  __spi_pump_transfer_message+0x120/0x420
|  __spi_sync+0x2c4/0x520
|  spi_sync+0x34/0x60
|  spidev_message+0x20c/0x378 [spidev]
|  spidev_ioctl+0x398/0x750 [spidev]
[...]

Switch from devm_spi_register_controller() to spi_register_controller() in
fsl_lpspi_probe() and add the corresponding spi_unregister_controller() in
fsl_lpspi_remove().
