[PATCH V2 1/4] spi: lpspi: Fix kernel warning dump when probe fail after calling spi_register

From: Clark Wang
Date: Sun Jul 26 2020 - 23:14:52 EST


Calling devm_spi_register_controller() too early will cause problem.
When probe failed occurs after calling devm_spi_register_controller(),
the call of spi_controller_put() will trigger the following warning dump.
