+Subject: [PATCH] spi/ath79: add shutdown handler
+
+commit 7410e848583f9120dd5f9414629f01bb76b5ee5f upstream.
+
+The SPI controller of the AR7xxx/AR9xxx SoCs
+have a special mode which allows the SoC to
+directly read data from SPI flash chips. In
+this mode, the content of the SPI flash chip
+can be accessed via a memory mapped region.
+
+During early init time, the kernel expects
+that the flash chip is accessible through
+that memory region because it reads board
+specific values (e.g. MAC address, WiFi
+calibration data) from the flash on various
+boards.
+
+This is working if the kernel is loaded
+directly by the bootloader because that
+leaves the SPI controller in the special
+mode. However it is not working in a kexec'd
+kernel because the SPI driver does not restore
+the special mode during shutdown.
+
+The patch adds a shutdown handler to fix this
+issue.
