Yes - I built a kernel with your patch, combined with the changes I
just posted to linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org as:

"[PATCH v1] Make spi_ppc4xx.c tolerate 0 bits-per-word and 0 speed_hz"

I was successful in operating both the m25p16 at 16 MHz and the AVR
at 240 KHz, as verified by oscilloscope.  So my "ack" includes testing.

Got it.  No further comments.  My "ack" stands.

I'll start looking at a revised version of the spi_ppc4xx.c driver,
integrating your comments.
