Ensure consistency in spmi_controller pointers between
spmi_controller_remove/put and driver spmi_del_controller functions.
The former requires a pointer to struct spmi_controller, while the
latter passes a pointer of struct spmi_controller_dev, leading to a
"Null pointer exception".

You need to mark this patch more clearly as a stable backport (e.g.
using a "[PATCH-stable]" prefix), and explain that the corresponding
issue has already been fixed upstream by commits:
490d88ef548d ("spmi: hisi-spmi-controller: Use devm_spmi_controller_add()")
ffdfbafdc4f4 ("spmi: Use devm_spmi_controller_alloc()")
but that those commits (and their dependencies) are too intrusive to
backport.
