Lukas, your patch works fine for me and is only two lines, so maybe
better suited for stable. How about the attached patch?

Subject: [PATCH] spi: bcm2835: Fix use-after-free in bcm2835_spi_remove()
In bcm2835_spi_remove(), spi_controller_unregister() will free the ctlr
reference which will lead to an use after free in bcm2835_release_dma().
To avoid this use after free, allocate the bcm2835_spi structure with a
different lifecycle than the spi_controller structure such that we
unregister the SPI controller, free up all the resources and finally let
device managed allocations free the bcm2835_spi structure.
Fixes: 05897c710e8e ("spi: bcm2835: Tear down DMA before turning off SPI controller")
Fixes: 3ecd37edaa2a ("spi: bcm2835: enable dma modes for transfers meeting certain conditions")
