It's strange - But without spi_master_suspend i have randomly stucks
when i try unload this module - as was written before
i was test it (load/unload module in loop) and for me suspend make sense here

If anybody has another solution - or real problem not here - please
help to find the right way!

PS: i have another way for solve this problem (may be it can help us
fix problem in kernel)

# before unload module need
echo -n spi0.0 > /sys/bus/spi/drivers/spi-nor/unbind
# after unbind driver we can unload module without problem
rmmod spi_meson_spifc # can stuck without unbind driver before ...
