A1 datasheet v0.4 - Section 7.6.3.2

You have not answer my remark.
Mainline does not do everything like the AML SDK does. Saying you are
copying it because you know it works (in your opinion) is not good
enough.

I'm telling you that your hack is not necessary and so far, you have not
demonstrated that it is.

Also the multiplier range in m/n, not m alone.

You argued that frac was broken and that was partly why you introduced
this work around. I'm telling you this approach is incorrect.

So either :
* Remove frac for now, until it is fixed, because it is broken and add
  comment clearly explaining that quirk.
* Or fix it now.

Your choice.
