There are a lot of &spi->dev in the probe function.  BEeore doing any of this
I'd suggest introducing a
struct device *dev = &spi->dev;
and replacing them all with dev.

That also shortens all the lines so maybe some return dev_err_probe()
end up below 80 chars and make the suggestion below irrelvant?
(I haven't checked!)
