When you say the value set by the clock framework does that mean that
the clock driver is adjusting hardware inside the SPI controller IP
block which is then getting reset by the SPI driver without the SPI
driver knowing about it?  That seems like a bad idea as you're finding
here.

Note that the rate might change per transfer.
