[PATCH] spi: core: Fix Oops in spi_pump_messages error path

From: Maxime Ripard
Date: Mon Feb 17 2014 - 12:25:19 EST


When the generic implementation of the transfer_one_message callback was called
by the spi_pump_messages function, if that transfer was to fail, the
spi_finalize_current_message was called twice, once in
spi_transfer_one_message, and one in spi_pump_messages.

This was causing a null pointer dereference in the second call, because the
first one set the ->cur_msg field to NULL.

Since the SPI framework expect the transfer_one_message callback to call
spi_finalize_current_message, we can remove it from spi_pump_messages, together
with any dereference of the ->cur_msg pointer.
