Re: [PATCH] spi: cadence-quadspi: Add upper limit safety check to baudrate divisor

Hi Nathan,
Thanks for your contribution.
However, there are a few issues that I would like you to address.

While bringing up the cadence-quadspi driver on a customer board,
I discovered that the baud divisor calculation can exceed the
peripheral's maximum in some circumstances.  This will prevent it.
What is the peripheral's maximum? Is the peripheral a flash?
Please define what you mean by "some circumstances".

I don't think comparing "greater than" with a MASK is atall a good idea.

I would not encourage this either.

  	reg = readl(reg_base + CQSPI_REG_CONFIG);
  	reg &= ~(CQSPI_REG_CONFIG_BAUD_MASK << CQSPI_REG_CONFIG_BAUD_LSB);
  	reg |= (div & CQSPI_REG_CONFIG_BAUD_MASK) << CQSPI_REG_CONFIG_BAUD_LSB;

Either come up with a better MACRO, or if what I understand
is correct, the peripheral's max value will depend, well
on the _peripheral_ in which case it is that "peripheral" driver's
responsibility to properly tell the controller what to do.


Again, I don't fully understand your situation is as in
what is the peripheral you are using. So please elaborate on that.

Importantly, I would suggest that you _NEVER_ compare ANY value to a
MASK Macro. MASK Macros are meant to MASK bits.
