It is. I made the same mistake earlier and fixed it.

The hardware documentation (TRM) doesn't say anything about these 
registers, so I've mostly gone by the downstream driver. FYI, the driver 
is publicly available in the L4T kernel sources at 
https://developer.nvidia.com/sites/default/files/akamai/mobile/files/L4T/kernel_src.tbz2. 
I'm not how useful reading them would be, though.

I explained the difference in my other message, but I can add the 
"precise" version of the division if wanted. I'm not sure if the error 
scales with temperature.
