Thanks, installed on the master branch, and closing the bug.
I needed to make a few minor followup changes; please study them and
try to avoid the same pitfalls in the future.

Ciao,
this patch adds speedbar-window-mode as an alternative to the default
speedbar-frame-mode. Calling speedbar-window-mode will close speedbar-frame-
mode if it is open, and vice versa.
speedbar-window-mode, thanks to display-buffer-in-side-window, can be placed
on the left side, right side but also on the top or bottom.
Thank you.
Vincenzo
