just in case someone thinks it is a good idea to convert the
spi_register_controller() call.

It was just a revert and that was the way it was done before
the patch mentioned above. You're right, dspi is better
here and then the hunk below will be superfluous.

Let me know if I should respin the patch or if you like to
keep the devm_kzalloc() as it is now, because you've mentioned
you don't like the spi devres mappers. During earlier debugging
I just noticed the following comment in drivers/spi/spi.c and
noticed that this driver isn't converted:

/* Release the last reference on the controller if its driver
* has not yet been converted to devm_spi_alloc_master/slave().
*/
