Why does the driver need the machine driver to manually configure clock
dividers?

This isn't great, you're indexing into a table of divisors using raw
numeric constants in a totally separate part of the code.  Worse, these
constants aren't even directly used but have a calculation applied to 
them apparently because this is really a multi dimensional array.  This
isn't great for either legibility or robustness.

Fix this to remove the use of magic numbers, for example by putting
fout and fref into the table and searching for them.
