[PATCH -next] spi: s3c64xx: fix reference leak to master in s3c64xx_spi_remove()

Hi Wei,

The patch doesn't have anything wrong, but what you write in the
description is not what you are doing in the patch.

There is no memory allocated in spi_master_get and nothing leaks.
Besides master's resources are managed, so that there would
not be any need to call spi_master_put().

spi_master_put() has been, indeed, removed in this commit:
91800f0e90050a4db4c77e940796f501e02af8be.

But even if you correct the commit log, I don't see much
advantage for this patch on its own.

Thanks,
Andi
