The iMX233 has two separate SPI connections. The first one is used to
connect to the SD card where the system boots from and the second one is
the one I plan to use. The idea was to only set clock frequency for the
SPI bus, I want to use to connect to external devices. The "SD SPI" has
to run with "full speed". So where is the mistake...

Thanks in advance.
