Subject: [PATCH] spi: Fix the logic around the maximum speed

Commit 9326e4f1e5dd ("spi: Limit the spi device max speed to controller's max speed")
rationaly introduced a new condition on which the device's maximum
speed would be set to the controller's one: if the device advertizes a
higher speed than the one supported by the controller.

However, it seems that the SPI core does not enforce controllers to
always advertize a maximum speed value. Other similar conditions in
the SPI core always check that the controller->max_speed_hz was set
before doing anything else.

Not doing this check here breaks SPI controller drivers which do not
advertize a maximum speed:
- the controller maximum speed is 0
- the child device max speed is set to an apparently coeherent value
- in this case the child device maximum speed is set to 0

Either (1) all controller drivers should set max_speed_hz or (2) the
child device maximum speed should not be updated in this particular
situation. Perhaps there is a rationale for not enforcing (1), but in
any case as a fix it is safer to use solution (2).

Oh crap :') Indeed I wasn't based on the right -rc to get the fix.

Thanks for the heads up!
