Fix two issues with the calculation of pre_div and post_div:

1. pre_div: While the calculation of pre_div looks correct, to set the
CONREG[15-12] bits pre_div needs to be decremented by 1:

The i.MX 6Dual/6Quad Applications Processor Reference Manual (IMX6DQRM
Rev. 0, 11/2012) states:

CONREG[15-12]: PRE_DIVIDER
0000 Divide by 1
0001 Divide by 2
0010 Divide by 3
...
1101 Divide by 14
1110 Divide by 15
1111 Divide by 16

I.e. if we want to divide by 2, we have to write 1 to CONREG[15-12].

2. In case the post divider becomes necessary, pre_div will be set to 15. To
calculate the post divider, divide by 15, too. And not 16.

Both issues above are tested using the following examples:

clk_src = 60000000 (60MHz, default i.MX6 ECSPI clock)

a) max_hz == 23000000 (23MHz, max i.MX6 ECSPI read clock)

-> pre_div =  3 (divide by 3 => CONREG[15-12] == 2)
-> post_div = 0 (divide by 1 => CONREG[11- 8] == 0)
               => 60MHz / 3 = 20MHz SPI clock

b) max_hz == 2000000 (2MHz)

-> pre_div =  15 (divide by 15 => CONREG[15-12] == 14)
-> post_div = 1  (divide by  2 => CONREG[11- 8] == 1)
               => 60MHz / 30 = 2MHz SPI clock

c) max_hz == 1000000 (1MHz)

-> pre_div =  15 (divide by 15 => CONREG[15-12] == 14)
-> post_div = 2  (divide by  4 => CONREG[11- 8] == 2)
               => 60MHz / 60 = 1MHz SPI clock

d) max_hz == 500000 (500kHz)

-> pre_div =  15 (divide by 15 => CONREG[15-12] == 14)
-> post_div = 3  (divide by  8 => CONREG[11- 8] == 3)
               => 60MHz / 120 = 500kHz SPI clock

Hmm, why? You get wrong post_div dividers if you run with 'pre_div = 15' 
and '/16'. Hmm, reading your below comment do you want to say

"I agree that both lines

post_div = pre_div / 16;
pre_div = 15;

have to use the same value, but instead of using 15, use 16
"

?

>>    			pre_div = 15;
> and this should be = 16, because you now subtract 1 below

Do you want to say you propose

post_div = pre_div / 16;
pre_div = 16;

?

If so:

First, I agree that we have to use the same dividers in both lines.

But, second, this would mean that you use /16 as max pre_div. For the 
i.MX6 case where clk_src is 60MHz this would result in a pre-divided 
clock of 3.75Mhz (instead of 4MHz with /15).

So using /15 or /16 is just a decision of which end clocks most probably 
are needed.

If you want to be able to configure 4MHz, 2MHz, 1MHz, 500kHz etc then 
/15 is the better choice.

If you want to be able to configure 3.75Mhz, 1.875MHz, 937.5kHz, 
468.75kHz etc then /16 is the better choice.

I vote for /15 as done by my patch.

Best regards

Dirk

That does sound better for i.MX6, what about other processors using this 
file?

Thanks for explaining. The downside of using /15 is that you can't get 
the slowest clock possible.
How about restructuring the code to improve both. Calculate post_div first.

pre_div = DIV_ROUND_UP(clk_src, max_hz);
/* fls(1) = 1, fls(0x80000000) = 32, fls(16) = 5 */
post_div = fls(pre_div - 1);
if (post_div > 4)
     post_div -= 4;
else
     post_div = 0;

if (post_div >= 16) {
            printf("Error: no divider for the freq: %d\n",
                                         max_hz);
            return -1;
}
pre_div = (pre_div + (1 << post_div) - 1) >> post_div;
_________________________
Checking values for largest divisor possible (16 << 15) = (1<<19) gives
post_div = 15;
pre_div = 16;

Checking 1st illegal divisor (0x80001) gives
post_div = 16;

Checking divisor 0xe0 gives
post_div = 4;
pre_div = 0xe;

Checking divisor 0xe1 gives
post_div = 4;
pre_div = 0xf;

Checking divisor 0x100 gives
post_div = 4;
pre_div = 0x10;

Checking divisor 0x101 gives
post_div = 5;
pre_div = 9;
_________________________________________
Code is simpler and more accurate

Yes. I was looking for the _highest_ clock possible, though ;) And 
this isn't correctly done by the recent code. This is why I was 
looking into it ...

Using my test code gives the correct values using this algorithm. So 
yes, sounds good.

Just a small note: Wouldn't it be better to put the printf and the 
last line with the pre_div calculation into the if(post_div > 4) part? 
I.e.

pre_div = DIV_ROUND_UP(clk_src, max_hz);
/* fls(1) = 1, fls(0x80000000) = 32, fls(16) = 5 */
post_div = fls(pre_div - 1);
if (post_div > 4) {
     post_div -= 4;

     if (post_div >= 16) {
            printf("Error: no divider for the freq: %d\n",
                                         max_hz);
            return -1;
     }
     pre_div = (pre_div + (1 << post_div) - 1) >> post_div;

} else
     post_div = 0;

?

In case we agree on this, I'm thinking about doing 2 patches to make 
clear what we are doing:

1. Re-doing my initial patch with

post_div = pre_div / 16;
pre_div = 16;

This would be the "fix the issues in the existing (non-optimal) 
algorithm but keep that" patch.

2. Replace the existing algorithm with your above version. This would 
be the "improve the algorithm" patch.

What do you think?

Best regards

Dirk

Looks good to me. (but {} for else too)

Sounds like a plan.
