Hi Vladimir,

This is fine by me. Whether LPC32xx supports CLK_DIVIDER_READ_ONLY is up to you,
but you should be consistent about it.

I added the fix to LPC32xx because it looks like the generic divider (a lot) and
appears to support CLK_DIVIDER_READ_ONLY. If it does not, could you please kill
the related code ?

Jerome
