Actually, the original boolean "has_xtal_div2" is right because it encodes
if the HW has an internal /2 divider for the XTAL clock input path.

The HW historically has a /3 divider on the same path, and new HW now has both.

So the boolean indicates if the /2 divider is present so it can be used.

So I'm in favour of keeping the boolean type.
For the naming, it seems appropriate for me.

Neil
