So this bug is triggered when the bcm2835 drivers shutdown() function is called since this
driver does something quite unusual: it unregisters the spi controller in its shutdown()
handler.
This seems wrong

Jason

Unregistering the SPI controller during shutdown is only a side-effect of calling
bcm2835_spi_remove() in the shutdown handler:

static void bcm2835_spi_shutdown(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
	int ret;

	ret = bcm2835_spi_remove(pdev);
	if (ret)
		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to shutdown\n");
}
