Subject: [PATCH] staging: greybus: spilib: fix use-after-free after deregistration
Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2017 13:01:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171029120133.32585-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)

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.

Fixes: ba3e67001b42 ("greybus: SPI: convert to a gpbridge driver")
