The Documentation of the S905 also state that N2 minimal value is 4 and SDM
minimal is 1 ... I should have been more careful ! Thanks for catching this
Martin. We definitely need to fix this.

Patch seems ok but I have one question. Is the rate actually zero when the
divisor is zero ?
I'll be away from my boards until Wednesday but I can check this when I get back
if you can't.
