As it says below, we "limit the clock to a maximum rate that still gives
us a period value which fits in 16 bits". So that the computed hardware
values won't overflow.

E.g. if at a rate of 12 MHz your computed hardware value for the period
is 0xf000, then at a rate of 24 MHz it won't fit in 16 bits. So the
clock
rate must be reduced to the highest possible that will still give you a
< 16-bit value.

We always want the highest possible clock rate that works, for the sake
of
precision.

The clock rate doesn't change the PWM output because the hardware
values for
the period and duty are adapted accordingly to reflect the change.
