Not sure I fully understand this. On failure
devm_spi_register_master() will return a negative error code which
should result in probe failure and release of devres resource, right?

That extra spi_master_get() that might be problematic was present in
the code before 8b797490b4db ("spi: gpio: Make sure spi_master_put()
is called in every error path") and I think was first introduced in
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers?h=v5.9-rc4&id=702a4879ec337463f858c8ab467482cce260bf18
Or am I missing something?
Not really questioning the validity of this fix, just trying to
understand what I missed in 8b797490b4db ("spi: gpio: Make sure
spi_master_put() is called in every error path")
