This commit shouldn't be backported to stable by itself, it requires
that the following fixups are applied on top of it:

* Upstream commit 27e7db56cf3d ("spi: Don't have controller clean up spi
  device before driver unbind")

* spi.git commit 2ec6f20b33eb ("spi: Cleanup on failure of initial setup")
  https://git.kernel.org/broonie/spi/c/2ec6f20b33eb

Note that the latter is queued for v5.13, but hasn't landed there yet.
So you probably need to back out c7299fea6769 from the stable queue and
wait for 2ec6f20b33eb to land in upstream.

Since you've applied c7299fea6769 to v5.12, v5.10, v5.4, v4.14 and v4.19
stable trees, the two fixups listed above need to be backported to all
of them.

Thanks,
