Hmm, maybe I should look up valid vcodiv myself, but your vcodiv_berlin2
has 9 values and I guess they are all valid, aren't they?

The next possible, larger mask where 0-8 fits in, is 0xf. You used that
above and that reveals 16 possible indices.

The only option for shrinking the table that I see, would be min/max
allowed indices, but that is as useful as having a slightly larger
table.

Maybe, I wasn't clear enough. Just assign .foo_mask and .foo_shift in
subsequent lines of code, i.e.

static struct berlin_pllmap berlin_pll_map = {
.vcodiv = vcodiv_berlin2,
.fbdiv_mask = 0x1FF,
.fbdiv_shift = 6,
.rfdiv_mask = 0x1F,
.rfdiv_shift = 1,
.divsel_mask = 0xF,
.divsel_shift = 7,
};
