If a SPI master device exists, udev (udevtrigger) causes kernel crash,
due to wrong kobj pointer in kobject_uevent_env(). This problem was
not in 2.6.19.
The backtrace (on MIPS) was:
[<8024db6c>] kobject_uevent_env+0x54c/0x5e8
[<802a8264>] store_uevent+0x1c/0x3c (in drivers/class.c)
[<801cb14c>] subsys_attr_store+0x2c/0x50
[<801cb80c>] flush_write_buffer+0x38/0x5c
[<801cb900>] sysfs_write_file+0xd0/0x190
[<80181444>] vfs_write+0xc4/0x1a0
[<80181cdc>] sys_write+0x54/0xa0
[<8010dae4>] stack_done+0x20/0x3c
flush_write_buffer() passes kobject of spi_master_class.subsys to
subsys_addr_store(), then subsys_addr_store() passes a pointer to a
struct subsystem to store_uevent() which expects a pointer to a struct
class_device. The problem seems subsys_attr_store() called instead of
class_device_attr_store().
This mismatch was caused by commit
3bd0f6943520e459659d10f3282285e43d3990f1, which overrides kset of
master class. This made spi_master_class.subsys.kset.ktype NULL so
subsys_sysfs_ops is used instead of class_dev_sysfs_ops.
The commit was to fix spi_busnum_to_master(). Here is a patch fixes
this function in other way, just searching children list of
class_device.
