Hi Jonathan,

I'll rework this patch in v2, make it easier to understand & read.

In a few words: the clock output is divider = ckoutdiv + 1.
ckoutdiv range can be from 1-255 to provide divider of 2-256.
So I'll introduce this divider as a variable, and use it to setup
spi_clk_out_div.
This should address all your remarks here.

Thanks for reviewing,
Best Regards,
Fabrice
