I'm not worried about the divisions, but about the ilog2(), which
uses fls(). The TPU block also exists on SuperH SoCs (although
currently no SH Linux code has it enabled), and SH uses the fls()
implementation from asm-generic.

Although the above is correct, I find it hard to read.
Hence I'd keep a loop, like:
unsigned int prescaler = 0;
...
while (period > 0x10000) {
period >>= 2;
prescalar++;
}
This would even save 2 lines of code ;-)
