max_speed_hz is already set to 1/4  of the Core clock. So I don't think we need to change that.
In Pistachio SoC the max speed of SPFI block is limited to 1/4 of the core clock or to 50Mhz, to achieve these values the change suggested in this patch should have always been set. In the device tree node for SPFI we have to mention the limit of 50Mhz as spi-max-frequency = <50000000>;
