This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    staging: greybus: spilib: fix use-after-free after deregistration

to my staging git tree which can be found at

Subject: staging: greybus: spilib: fix use-after-free after deregistration

Remove erroneous spi_master_put() after controller deregistration which
would access the already freed spi controller.

Note that spi_unregister_master() drops our only controller reference.
