Instantiated SPI device nodes are marked with OF_POPULATE. This was
introduced in bd6c164. On unloading, loaded device nodes will of course
be unmarked. The problem are nodes that fail during initialisation: If a
node fails, it won't be unloaded and hence not be unmarked.

If a SPI driver module is unloaded and reloaded, it will skip nodes that
failed before.

Skip device nodes that are already populated and mark them only in case
of success.

Note that the same issue exists for I2C.

Fixes: bd6c164 ("spi: Mark instantiated device nodes with OF_POPULATE")

Thanks for this.

Please include human readable descriptions of things like commits and
issues being discussed in e-mail in your mails, this makes them much
easier for humans to read especially when they have no internet access.
I do frequently catch up on my mail on flights or while otherwise
travelling so this is even more pressing for me than just being about
making things a bit easier to read.

Please also use longer hashes - the kernel repository is big enough that
we do actually have a few collisons on shorter hash lengths IIRC.  The
standard thing is 12 characthers (you can set core.abbrev to 12 to help
with this).
