There's no reason, really. I would expect a big part of it to be "if it
works don't fix it" :)

Yup.

Yes, that would be reasonable indeed.

I guess. I don't consider it to be a pre-requisite to your patch though.

Not really, no. The fixed post divider is an additional divider that
needs to be considered for the clock rate.

See the A64's periph0 PLL for example. Its fixed post divider is 2, and
its rate is 24MHz * N * K / 2. The rate should be bounded by its minimal
and maximal rate taking the post divider into account. The CCF doesn't
have to know about it.
