[PATCH v2] drivers: staging: wilc1000: Add check for SPI availability

[Chandra S Gorentla]

NULL pointer deference is observed in the wilc1000.ko module
with bus type SPI and when SPI is not ready.

v2 - Subject corrected 'stating:' -> 'staging:'

Following are the steps to reproduce.

$ sudo insmod drivers/staging/wilc1000/wilc1000.ko
$ sudo ifconfig wlan1 up

wlan1 in the above command is the device controlled by 'wilc1000.ko'.
