You're missing the point here.  It's not the working out the divisor
bit that I'm noticing, it's all the stuff around it imposing the
constraints for the input frequency and the PLL itself.  What's there at
the minute seems to split the OPCLK and non-OPCLK cases too early and
has these very large comments explaining what it's trying to do - a more
step by step approach might be clearer.
