The introduction of ebf0d8dadeca ("ath79: add new ar934x spi driver")
made the SPI memory unusable on devices with very high spi-max-frequency
(104 MHz).

Here's how the actual clock is calculated: (AHB_CLK/((CLOCK_DIVIDER+1)*2))
where AHB_CLK is a fixed clock (e.g. 200MHz on AR9331) and CLOCK_DIVIDER
is the parameter we can set. Highest clock according to this formula is
AHB_CLK/2 (100MHz, but that didn't work in device tests).
The next possible value is AHB_CLK/4 (50MHz). Speeds between 50 MHz and
100 MHz will be rounded down, so using values higher than 50 MHz does
not provide any benefit.

Consequently, this patch reduces spi-max-frequency for all devices with
values higher than 50 MHz to 50 MHz (effectively, this only affects
devices with 104 MHz before this patch).

Tested on GL.inet GL-AR150:
Boot fails with 104 MHz but is successful with both 50 MHz and 80 MHz
(fast-read), where the latter two yield identical read speeds.

Fixes: ebf0d8dadeca ("ath79: add new ar934x spi driver")
