    The algorithm to calculate the PLL parameters is rather crude. It will
    favour undershooting the rate rather than overshooting. This is fine for
    DVFS usecases when you want to avoid a too high clock rate, but not good
    for eg display or memory, where as close as match as possible is needed.

    Peter.
