Without this change, receiving CAN messages on the board beyond a
certain bitrate will cause overrun errors (see 'ip -det -stat link show
can0').

With this fix, receiving messages on the bus works without any overrun
errors for bitrates up to 1 MBit.

It removes the arbitrarily low limit on the SPI frequency, that was
caused by a typo in the original dts. As the usage of the CAN bus is
seriously affected by this I would consider it a fix. But if you think
otherwise, feel free to remove the Fixes tag.
