What about:

         struct muldiv *md = &freq_desc->muldiv[index];

         if (md->divider) {
		tscref = TSC_REFERENCE_KHZ * md->multiplier;
         	freq = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(tscref, md->divider);
		/*
                  * Multiplying by ratio before the division has better
                  * accuracy than just calculating freq * ratio
                  */
                 res = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(tscref * ratio, md->divider);

Hmm?

That indeed looks nicer, I've prepared (and tested) a v4 with the
suggested change, I'll send out v4 right after this email.

Regards,

Hans
