Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2009 15:46:49 +0200
From: "Oskar Schirmer" <os@...ix.com>

Subject: [PATCH 6/8] lib: isolate rational fractions helper function
Provide a helper function to determine optimum numerator
denominator value pairs taking into account restricted
register size. Useful especially with PLL and other clock
configurations.
