Either the debug statement or the setting is indeed wrong.

[    0.696759] spi spi1.0: 13000000 Hz actual, PIO
[    0.715760] spi spi3.0: 13000000 Hz actual, PIO

Which comes from this part of the driver (with #define DEBUG set):

        /* NOTE:  PXA25x_SSP _could_ use external clocking ... */
        if (!pxa25x_ssp_comp(drv_data))
                dev_dbg(&spi->dev, "%ld Hz actual, %s\n",
                        clk_get_rate(ssp->clk)
                                / (1 + ((chip->cr0 & SSCR0_SCR(0xfff)) >> 8)),
                        chip->enable_dma ? "DMA" : "PIO");
        else
                dev_dbg(&spi->dev, "%ld Hz actual, %s\n",
                        clk_get_rate(ssp->clk) / 2
                                / (1 + ((chip->cr0 & SSCR0_SCR(0x0ff)) >> 8)),
                        chip->enable_dma ? "DMA" : "PIO");

But the board file has this:

static struct spi_board_info spi_board_info[] __initdata = {
        {
                .modalias = "lis3l02dq",
                .max_speed_hz = 8000000,/* 8MHz max spi frequency at 3V */
                .bus_num = 1,
                .chip_select = 0,
                .controller_data = &staccel_chip_info,
                .irq = IRQ_GPIO(96),
        }, {
                .modalias = "cc2420",
//              .max_speed_hz = 6500000,
                .max_speed_hz = 10000000, /* 10MHz */
                .bus_num = 3,
                .chip_select = 0,
                .controller_data = &cc2420_info,
                .platform_data = &cc2420_pdata,

        },
};

Its neither 8MHz for spi1.0 nor 10MHz for spi3.0.

Adding some debug info shows me that the driver gets the data fine form the
platform data:
[    0.695770] spi spi1.0: chip->speed_hz: 8000000, spi->max_speed_hz: 8000000
[    0.695872] spi spi1.0: 13000000 Hz actual, PIO
[    0.714824] spi spi3.0: chip->speed_hz: 10000000, spi->max_speed_hz: 10000000
[    0.714929] spi spi3.0: 13000000 Hz actual, PIO

Thats directly above the chip->cr0 and chip->cr1 calculations. Is this just the
initial seeting and it gets overwritten before a transfer or is the speed
calculation wrong?
