When doing spi xfer by spi-altera, divide by 0 exception happens in spi_transfer_wait(), This is because the xfer->speed_hz is always clamped to 0 by spi->controller->max_speed_hz, the feature is introduced in:
commit 9326e4f1e5dd ("spi: Limit the spi device max speed to controller's max speed") The spi-altera doesn't have hardware indication for controller's max_speed_hz, so its value is uninitialized as 0. Patch #1 fixes the issue of spi_altera driver. When doing polling mode xfer, its transfer_one() callback should return 1, to indicate the xfer is finished. It should return 0 for irq mode xfer. With this patch the polling mode xfer is OK as it needs no spi_transfer_wait() anymore. But the irq mode xfer is still broken. So Patch #2 assumes 1khz xfer speed if the xfer->speed_hz is not assigned. I try to avoid the divide by 0 issue and ensures a reasonable tolerant waiting time in a generic way.
