I am perfectly willing to split this into two patches it prefered (one
for the counter frequency fix and one for the rate typos).

Other cleanups needed would be great too, since I am still not too
pleased with how this looks.

With this fix however many boards have run ntp with drift less than 3ppm,
so it works very well.
