Unfortunately, this is fractional divider, assuming input clock of 24MHz.

24MHz / 732.4219 = 32KHz (Normal OPP100)
24MHz / 366.2109 = 32KHz (OPP50)

The register control CONTROL_CLK32K_DIVRATIO_CTRL is provided to choose 
between these two dividers.

As per the Spec, we have some known HW/Si issues to run whole system at 
OPP50, that's where if you refer to the TRM Table 8-22. Per PLL Typical 
Frequencies (MHz), it only talks about OPP100, which is 732.4219 divider.

So, technically, if both OPP's (OPP100 and OPP50) works fine, then yes, we 
should handle it. But given the fact that, OPP50 is not fully functional due 
to HW/Si issues, from CORE and PER perspective we will always stay at OPP100.

To summarize, I had to make it fixed-frequency due to,

 - Fractional divisor value.
 - We will always stay at OPP100 in any case, making this divisor constant 
   always.

Yes, this clock is feeding to timers, gpio debounce clocks, etc...
Honestly, I do not know the answer to why part of it.
(May be another integration/design issue)
