According to drivers/spi/spi-atmel.c, the kernel module may sleep under 
a spinlock.
The function call path is:
atmel_spi_remove (acquire the spinlock)
   atmel_spi_release_dma
     dma_release_channel
       mutex_lock --> may sleep

I do not find a good way to fix it, so I only report.
This possible bug is found by my static analysis tool (DSAC) and checked 
by my code review.


Thanks,
Jia-Ju Bai
