Transactions on the Firmware SPI controller are usually configured at
50MHz by U-Boot and Linux to stay on the safe side, specially CE0 from
which the board boots. The other SPI controllers are generally set at
a higher freq : 100MHz, because the devices on these buses are not for
booting the BMC, they are mostly only written to (at a default lower
freq). There are some exceptions when the devices and the wiring permit
higher rates.

For the record, we lowered the SPI freq on the AST2400 (palmetto)
because some chips would freak out once in a while at 100MHz.
