Division is not the point of the patch. The point is that
clk_set_rate() that was originally there doesn't guarantee that the
rate is set exactly. The rate directly determines the SPI transfer
speed and thus the driver needs to use the rate that was actually set
for further calculations.

Right, the !cmu case actually suffers from the same problem. The code
divides the parent clock rate with the requested speed to obtain the
divider to program into the register. This is subject to integer
rounding, so (parent / (parent / speed)) doesn't always equal (speed).

Actually this is right and fixes one more problem, which I didn't spot
when looking at this code when I suggested the change (I only spotted
the effects on timeout calculation). The rounding error might have
caused wrong configuration there, because e.g. 30000000 Hz could be
requested and rounded to 28000000 Hz. The former is a threshold for
setting the S3C64XX_SPI_CH_HS_EN bit, but the real frequency wouldn't
actually require setting it.
