Your comment says that only the output frequencies in table 52 are
supported.  Could you please provide more specific references to where
this is done in the driver?  I think you're confusing the fact that the
example table lists most of the common audio frequencies with what the
driver supports here.

So what you're actually saying is that 256fs doesn't give us the option
of an an in-range Fvco for the FLL at those frequencies (which is the
check I think you're talking about here)?  That's a limitation of the
chip.

Certainly, the comment is not accurate - the contents of table 52 aren't
relevant here, the driver is calculating what it can do dynamically so
the restrictions are a combination of the limits on Fvco and the pre and
post scaling dividers available.
