    spi_mpc83xx.c underclocking hotfix · 698ca47e
    Clifford Wolf 提交于
    The MPC83xx SPI controller clock divider can divide the system clock by not
    more then 1024.  The spi_mpc83xx driver does not check this and silently
    writes garbage to the SPI controller registers when asked to run at lower
    frequencies.  I've tried to run the SPI on a 266MHz MPC8349E with 100kHz
    for debugging a bus problem and suddenly was confronted with a 2nd problem
    to debug..  ;-)
    
    The patch adds an additional check which avoids writing garbage to the SPI
    controller registers and warn the user about it.  This might help others to
    avoid simmilar problems.
