This patch adds a max frequency check at the beginning of ad2s90_probe function so that when it is set to a value above 0.83Mhz, dev_err is called with an appropriate message and -EINVAL is returned. The defined limit is 0.83Mhz instead of 2Mhz, which is the chip's max frequency as specified in the datasheet, because, as also specified in the datasheet, a 600ns delay is expected between the application of a logic LO to CS and the application of SCLK. Since the delay is not implemented in the spi code, to satisfy it, SCLK's period should be at most 2 * 600ns, so the max frequency should be 1 / (2 * 6e-7), which gives roughly 830000Hz.
