Linux 3.16: all my drivers on SPI bus report WARNING: at drivers/base/dd.c:286

[leroy christophe]

I've been able to identify the origin of the issue. It happens since the below commit.
Do you know what should be done to fix that ?

Subject: spi: fsl-spi: Fix memory leak

mpc8xxx_spi_probe() has set master->cleanup = mpc8xxx_spi_cleanup,
however current code overrides the setting in fsl_spi_probe() and set
master->cleanup = fsl_spi_cleanup.
Thus the memory allocated for cs is not freed anywhere.
Convert to use devm_kzalloc to fix the memory leak.
