    This can occur because the SPI controller driver (SPI_PXA2XX) is built as
    module and thus not necessarily loaded. While building SPI_PXA2XX into the
    kernel would make the problem disappear, it appears prudent to ensure that
    the driver is instantiated before accessing its data structures.
