[PATCH 14/26] spi: sifive: fix controller deregistration

From: Johan Hovold

Date: Fri Apr 10 2026 - 04:23:57 EST


Make sure to deregister the controller before disabling underlying
resources like interrupts during driver unbind.

Note that clocks were also disabled before the recent commit
140039c23aca ("spi: sifive: Simplify clock handling with
devm_clk_get_enabled()").

Fixes: 484a9a68d669 ("spi: sifive: Add driver for the SiFive SPI controller")
