On the contrary, the INIT_WAITQUEUE() call only reinits the flag. In case there was anything still stuck in the waitqueue, subsequent call to init_completion() would be able to create possible race condition. This patch uses the proper function and moves init_completion() into .probe() call of the driver, to be issued only once. Note that such scenario is impossible, since two threads can never enter the mxs_spi_txrx_dma(), since whole this section is protected by mutex in SPI core. This by no means allows this issue to exit though.
