That code all looks completely horrid and strange.
I'd have thought the 16-bit fractional part (0..0xffff) would
basically be ((rate * 0x10000)/parent_rate) & 0xffff;
But that isn't what is being calculated.
(It may need tweaking to avoid the multiply overflowing.)
Then there is the multiply and divide by 0x10001 which is
equally strange.
But I'd just write 0x10000u and/or 0xffffu.

It would let min() be used.
The compilers should really be less pedantic about tests for
unsigned being >= 0 - especially when there is an upper limit check.
I could make clamp() act as min() for unsigned with the low limit
is zero - but it would be rather over-complicated.
