         u32             nmask;

and this member can be calculated. Doing that would save more bytes when
combined with this patch. Can you make this into a patch series?

Hi,

with your proposed change, there is no more need to move flags. All u8 are grouped and the struct is optimal.

I'll send a v2, but not sure it really worth it.
When dynamically allocated, even when the struct is 56 bytes, 64 are still allocated. And there are only 2 users of struct clk_fractional_divider embedded in another struct that will be shrinked with your change.

On the other side, having theses masks pre-computed could save a few cycles, at nearly no memory usage impact.

I'll let you decide if v1 or v2 is the preferred way to go.
