    spi: Correct SPI clock frequency setting in spi_mpc8xxx · 4f4517c4
    Ernst Schwab authored
    Correct SPI clock frequency division factor rounding, preventing clock rates
    higher than the maximum specified clock frequency being used.
    
    When specifying spi-max-frequency = <10000000> in the device tree,
    the resulting frequency was 11.1 MHz, with spibrg being 133333332.
    
    According to the freescale data sheet [1], the spi clock rate is
    spiclk = spibrg / (4 * (pm+1))
    
    The existing code calculated
      pm = mpc8xxx_spi->spibrg / (hz * 4); pm--;
      resulting in pm = (int) (3.3333) - 1 = 2,
      resulting in spiclk = 133333332/(4*(2+1)) = 11111111
    
      With the fix,
       pm = (mpc8xxx_spi->spibrg - 1) / (hz * 4) + 1; pm--;
       resulting in pm = (int) (4.3333) - 1 = 3,
       resulting in spiclk = 133333332/(4*(3+1)) = 8333333
    
       Without the fix, for every desired SPI frequency that
       is not exactly derivable from spibrg, pm will be too
       small due to rounding down, resulting in a too high SPI clock,
       so we need a pm which is one higher.
    
       For values that are exactly derivable, spibrg will
       be dividable by (hz*4) without remainder, and
       (int) ((spibrg-1)/(hz*4)) will be one lower than
       (int) (spibrg)/(hz*4), which is compensated by adding 1.
       For these values, the fixed version calculates the same pm
       as the unfixed version.
    
       For all values that are not exactly derivable,
       spibrg will be not dividable by (hz*4) without
       remainder, and (int) ((spibrg-1)/(hz*4)) will be
       the same as (int) (spibrg)/(hz*4), and the calculated pm will
       be one higher than calculated by the unfixed version.
