Attached is a testing patch which adds an artificially upper limit to 400.0 for
the feedback divider (normal range 17.0-2048.0) and an upper limit of 13 for
the reference divider (normal range 2-15).

I suggest you start playing with the feedback divider values until you can
figure out the limits for your hardware. E.g. try 400 as in my patch first, if
that works raise it to 800 if that doesn't work go down to 600 again etc..

Yeah, that's the problem I've got as well. The hardware isn't supported any
more so the whole documentation is not available.
