From: Radu Pirea radu.pirea@microchip.com

[ Upstream commit 66e900a3d225575c8b48b59ae1fe74bb6e5a65cc ]

The only part of atmel_spi_remove which needs to be atomic is hardware reset.

atmel_spi_stop_dma calls dma_terminate_all and this needs interrupts enabled. atmel_spi_release_dma calls dma_release_channel and dma_release_channel locks a mutex inside of spin_lock.

So the call of these functions can't be inside a spin_lock.
