Subject: [PATCH] ramips: increase SPI frequency for MT7620 Archer

Increase the SPI frequency for the MT7620 based TP-Link Archer series to
30MHz.

Acked-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freif...@adrianschmutzler.de>

I'm not sure which are the frequency steps actually observed on that target, 
but raising it above the abundant copy/pasted 10 MHz seems a good idea in any 
case.

The SPI master can be operated in a range of {2..128}/SYS_CLK. (2..128 has to be power of two). So in the end it will transfer at around 18 MHz.

I don't want to crank this up further, as TP-Link uses a broad selection of SPI chips on a single hardware revision on many of their devices. Increasing performance might come at the cost of compatibility here.

Best wishes
David

TP-Link uses different SPI flash chips for the same board revision, so be
conservative to not break boards with a different chip. 30MHz should be well
supported by all chips.

Tested on Archer C2 v1 (GD25Q64B) and Archer C20i (W25Q64FV).

Archer C20i (before)
====================
root@OpenWrt:~# time dd if=/dev/mtd1 of=/tmp/test.bin bs=64k
122+0 records in
122+0 records out
real    0m 15.30s
user    0m 0.00s
sys     0m 15.29s

Archer C20i (after)
===================
root@OpenWrt:~# time dd if=/dev/mtd1 of=/tmp/test.bin bs=64k
122+0 records in
122+0 records out
real    0m 5.99s
user    0m 0.00s
sys     0m 5.98s
