If an spi-gpio was specified with num-chipselects = <0> in dts, kernel will crash:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 32697073

The cause is spi_gpio_setup() did not check if the spi-gpio has chipselect pins
before setting their direction and results in derefing an invalid pointer.

The bug is spotted in kernel 4.19.72 on OpenWrt, and does not occur in 4.14.

There is a similar fix upstream 249e2632dcd0509b8f8f296f5aabf4d48dfd6da8.

So since this is fixed upstream I assume you mean that this should be for
stable v4.19?

I think the stable people want a special commit message structure,
see:
