Please resend with Mark's comment. I would prefer that you even remove
the stack trace completely and make it more obvious in the commit
message itself that the NULL pointer occurs during suspend/resume.
Somehow that managed to get obscured in your current version. It is also
not helpful at all that there already exists a commit titled 'spi:
fsl-dspi: fix NULL pointer dereference' on this driver. This causes
confusion for backporters. Please provide a unique commit message.
Thanks.
