Adrian Schmutzler a508ab1ac8 ramips: increase spi-max-frequency to 50 MHz for D-Link DIR-810L
Read times drop when increasing frequency to 25 MHz and 50 MHz,
but not in between or for further increase. So, use 50 MHz as the
lowest frequency with the fastest speed.

Test results (thanks to Roger):

The device reports a mx25l6405d flash chip. I tried all the maximum
values in the devices' datasheet (Table 10. AC CHARACTERISTICS). All of
them worked with and without "m25p,fast-read":
