From 698ca47e8dba93f4b001b06b4c7037b09ac6eb09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Clifford Wolf Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 04:04:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] 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. Cc: Kumar Gala Cc: David Brownell Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Reading git-format-patch failed
