    spi_mpc83xx: fix prescale modulus calculation · a44648b0
    Anton Vorontsov authored
    Long ago I've noticed (but didn't pay much attention) that
    spi_mpc83xx using PM calculations that differs from what
    specs describe. I.e.
    
    u8 pm = mpc83xx_spi->spibrg / (spi->max_speed_hz * 4);
    
    While specs says: "The SPI baud rate generator clock source (either
    system clock or system clock divided by 16, depending on DIV16 bit) is
    divided by 4 * ([PM] + 1), a range from 4 to 64.".
    
    Thus " - 1" is missing in the spi_mpc83xx's formula.
    
    Why nobody noticed that bug? Probably because sysclk usually less then
    user expects, e.g. you expect 200 MHz, but real clock is 198 MHz,
    and integer rounding helps when this formula is used.
    
    Suppose it's SPI in QE, SYSCLK at 198 MHz, thus SPIBRG at 99MHz, 25 MHz
    requested.
    
    PM = (99MHz / ( 25 MHz * 4 )), PM == 0, output SPICLK will be 24.75 MHz
    
    At lower frequencies this bug is more noticeable, though.
    
    And this bug shows itself in all its beauty if SYSCLK is equal or a bit
    more than you expect (200 MHz SYSCLK, 100 MHz SPIBRG):
    PM = (100MHz / ( 25 MHz * 4 )), PM == 1, output SPICLK will be 12.625 MHz!
