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.
