I *think* too that it's wrong. However I have no test hw and I'm not aware
of any problem caused by the current code. Therefore I was reluctant to make
the patch a fix.

The pre_div member will be gone anyway with a patch series that is in
discussion currently ("make full use of CCF").

I saw that one too. It's something for a follow-up patch.
