From: Clifford Wolf Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 11:04:06 +0000 (-0700) Subject: spi_mpc83xx.c underclocking hotfix X-Git-Tag: v2.6.23-rc1~695 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=698ca47e8dba93f4b001b06b4c7037b09ac6eb09;p=linux-2.6 spi_mpc83xx.c underclocking hotfix 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.
