The patch in question fixes an important breakage: before the patch, literally
hundreds of SPI drivers no longer worked - only if the SPI bus master
driver was using gpio descriptors.
We knew that there was a chance that our fix would break something else.
But hopefully "it fixes more than it breaks"

Can you try the following patch ?
diff --git a/drivers/spi/spi-gpio.c b/drivers/spi/spi-gpio.c
