[PATCH] spi: mpc52xx: fix use-after-free on registration failure

From: Johan Hovold

Date: Tue Apr 21 2026 - 08:58:30 EST


Make sure to disable and free the interrupts in case controller
registration fails to avoid a potential use-after-free and resource
leak.

This issue was flagged by Sashiko when reviewing a controller
deregistration fix.
