Subject[PATCH] Better PLL frequency matching for tdfxfb driver
DateThu, 21 Apr 2005 22:58:00 -0500
Attached is a patch against 2.6.11.7 which improves the PLL frequency matching 
in the tdfxfb driver. Instead of requiring 64260 iterations to obtain the 
closest supported PLL frequency, this code does it with the same degree of 
accuracy in at most 768 iterations.
