Technically I don't think this can ever happen.

The minimum and maximum possible speeds are determined during the probe.

	espi->max_rate = clk_get_rate(espi->clk) / 2;
	espi->min_rate = clk_get_rate(espi->clk) / (254 * 256);

Each transfer is validated to make sure the speed is greater than the
minimum.

		if (t->speed_hz < espi->min_rate)
			return -EINVAL;

Then the rate is clamped to the min/max rates.

	rate = clamp(rate, espi->min_rate, espi->max_rate);

The calculations for the div_csr and div_cpsr values needed to produce
the desired rate should always succeed.

Patch 7/8 actually replaces that dev_err() message with a more generic
one. In reality, even the new message, and the error checking, could
probably be removed.
