That's exactly why I started looking at it. I even had a patch that
changed the default frequency in the manpage already :)
No idea how I cam up with that stupid change... thanks for catching
that.

Obviously I got quite confused by the 3 ways of communicating the
requested SPI frequency (the string, the index of the array, the
integer that is stored in the array and gets transferred to the
programmer). I think that is kinda awkward although I see the point of
course.

I will leave it alone anyway since it is there already and we don't
know what Dediprog might bring us in the future ;)
I will however change the default spispeed_idx from 2 to 1 matching the
manpage and the default of Dediprog's CLI tool.
