spi: Fix documentation of spi_alloc_master() Actually, spi_master_put() after spi_alloc_master() must _not_ be followed by kfree(). The memory is already freed with the call to spi_master_put() through spi_master_class, which registers a release function. Calling both spi_master_put() and kfree() results in often nasty (and delayed) crashes elsewhere in the kernel, often in the networking stack. This reverts commit eb4af0f5349235df2e4a5057a72fc8962d00308a. Link to patch and concerns: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/3/269 or http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1209.0/00790.html Alexey Klimov: This revert becomes valid after 94c69f765f1b4a658d96905ec59928e3e3e07e6a when spi-imx.c has been fixed and there is no need to call kfree() so comment for spi_alloc_master() should be fixed.
