From: Stefan Agner stefan@agner.ch Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2018 15:05:49 +0100 Subject: spi: imx: do not access registers while clocks disabled

From: Stefan Agner stefan@agner.ch

commit d593574aff0ab846136190b1729c151c736727ec upstream.

Since clocks are disabled except during message transfer clocks are also disabled when spi_imx_remove gets called. Accessing registers leads to a freeeze at least on a i.MX 6ULL. Enable clocks before disabling accessing the MXC_CSPICTRL register.
