Good point, however I'm not sure if it is worth to model this divider
with a clk object.  It is an internal divider and the clock it provides
is only used internally within the SPI controller.  Thus the spi-s3c64xx
driver would be provider on the only consumer of this clock.

Additionally, the "There is half-multiplier before the SPI" comment
seems to be obfuscating how the hardware really looks like to me.
It talks about multiplier (which reminds me of PLLs with a divider
in the feedback loop) while there is a simple divider which should
be considered as an integral part of the controller IP block.

While we are at it, I'd propose to change this comment to something
like:

/* The SCLK_SPI clock is divided internally by 2 */
