First off, are you sure you actually need this? You should be able to achieve an effectively equivalent result by just lowering the `bus-frequency` property specified in the DT. The `bus-frequency` property ultimately determines all the register values, and you should be able to set it to whatever you want by refering to the Aspeed documentation. Nevertheless, the code that determines the correct dividers from the frequency is based on the tables in the Aspeed documentation. I don't think the equation makes sense when the base_clk_divisor is fixed; I mean it will probably just set the other divisor to max or min depending on the values chosen. I think if someone really wants to program this parameter manually, they probably want to set the other parameters manually too. [snip]
