You need to use devm_spi_alloc_master() and devm_spi_alloc_slave() here
to avoid a use-after-free in pentagram_spi_controller_remove():

That's because spi_unregister_master() frees the spi_controller struct
and the adjacent pspim allocation and pentagram_spi_controller_remove()
accesses pspim afterwards.

The allocation is *not* freed by spi_unregister_master() if the devm_*
variants are used for allocation.  Rather, the allocation is freed only
after pentagram_spi_controller_remove() has finished.

This can be dropped if the devm_* variants are used for allocation.

Please use spi_unregister_controller() here.  (It could be a slave.)

Thanks,
