[PATCH 0/4] spi: sophgo: Fix SPI NOR errors and clock limits

[Han Gao]

The SG204x SPI NOR driver ignores transfer errors and clock limits.
Fix both, enable SPI NOR on SRD3-10, and use 12.5 MHz on SRD3-10 and
SG2042 to match EDK2 and the vendor kernel, respectively.

Tested on SRD3-12 at 12.5 MHz: both flashes identify correctly, SFDP
reads succeed, and two full 64 MiB reads per flash match.

The SRD3-10 patch supersedes the earlier submission [1]. Please disregard
that version, which used a 133 MHz flash clock limit.

[PATCH 1/4] spi: sg2044-nor: Return transfer errors

[Han Gao]

The transfer helpers return errors, but both dispatchers discard them.
Return these errors to the SPI memory layer instead of reporting success.

[PATCH 2/4] spi: sg2044-nor: Honor SPI clock limits

[Han Gao]

The fixed divider ignores device and operation clock limits. Calculate
the divider before each transfer so SCK does not exceed either limit.

[PATCH 4/4] riscv: dts: sophgo: Limit SG2042 SPI NOR to 12.5 MHz

[Han Gao]

Use 12.5 MHz on the SG2042 EVBs and Milk-V Pioneer to match the vendor
kernel. The existing 50 MHz limit raises SCK once the driver starts
honoring spi-max-frequency.

Specifying a maximum speed is optional so we might have a currently
working setup with one omitted.  The driver should just go with the
maximum speed it supports in that case.
