You need to mark this patch more clearly as a stable backport (e.g.
using a "[PATCH-stable]" prefix), and explain that the corresponding
issue has already been fixed upstream by commits:

490d88ef548d ("spmi: hisi-spmi-controller: Use devm_spmi_controller_add()")
ffdfbafdc4f4 ("spmi: Use devm_spmi_controller_alloc()")

but that those commits (and their dependencies) are too intrusive to
backport.
