An SPI device is inaccessible once the controller has been torn down,
yet drivers may need to reach SPI devices to unbind cleanly (e.g. to
quiesce interrupts on SPI devices).

Therefore SPI devices need to be unregistered first and the controller
last.  However with CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC=y, an SPI device may be added
at runtime via of_spi_notify(), which does take a ref on the controller,
but otherwise runs lockless against spi_unregister_controller().

What can happen here is an SPI device gets instantiated below a
controller as it is being removed and the SPI device can't be unbound
or removed cleanly because it's inaccessible.

The bus code can't do anything about this.  It doesn't learn about the
controller going away until device_unregister() is called at the *end* of
spi_unregister_controller().

Anyway, the preliminary patch below should do the trick and I've also
cooked up something similar for i2c.  Needs to be tested still.

Thanks,

Lukas
