For the case where the transfer speed is not set __spi_validate() will
take the controller's maximum speed so the controller should just be
able to unconditionally use the transfer's speed.  Your issue is
therefore that the controllers are sometimes not setting a maximum
speed which this doesn't seem to fix AFAICT?  I'd expect the driver to
be able to work one out based on the input clock.

This seems to be a fairly big and surprising refactoring for the
described change.  It's quite hard to tie the change to the changelog.
