I know it is a bit late, but ...

The call to spi_unregister_master() frees the memory associated with master,
ie 'p', and the spi_master_put() below without matching spi_master_get() is
unnecessary/wrong. One possible fix would be to use 

        struct spi_master *master = spi_master_get(p->my_master);

above. That protects master and p while it is still being used, and makes use
of the call to spi_master_put() below. Another option might be to move
cvmx_write_csr() ahead of the call to spi_unregister_master() and drop the
call to spi_master_put().
