I think the confusion comes from the macro names. It's not exactly clear that
DIV_GATE is for composite clocks, while DIV_ADJ is for divider clocks.
Doubly so for the mux related types.

Either way, using the wrong macro or the wrong type will cause the compiler
to complain, so I think it's something we can live with. If it's still not
working out, maybe we should rethink the naming.
