Every SPI transfer could have a different clock rate. The
spi-geni-qcom controller code to deal with this was never very well
optimized and has always had a lot of code plus some calls into the
clk framework which, at the very least, would grab a mutex. However,
until recently, the overhead wasn't _too_ much. That changed with
commit 0e3b8a81f5df ("spi: spi-geni-qcom: Add interconnect support")
we're now calling geni_icc_set_bw(), which leads to a bunch of math
plus:
geni_icc_set_bw()
icc_set_bw()
apply_constraints()
qcom_icc_set()
qcom_icc_bcm_voter_commit()
rpmh_invalidate()
rpmh_write_batch()
...and those rpmh commands can be a bit beefy if you call them too
often.
We already know what speed we were running at before, so if we see
that nothing has changed let's avoid the whole pile of code.
On my hardware, this made spi_geni_prepare_message() drop down from
~145 us down to ~14 us.
NOTE: Potentially it might also make sense to add some code into the
interconnect framework to avoid executing so much code when bandwidth
isn't changing, but even if we did that we still want to short circuit
here to save the extra math / clock calls.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
