And how is that relevant to changing the mask from a hardcoded value
to a constant? It's still hardcoded at compile time and I don't see
how that helps chosing the clock at runtime for a particular use case.

So you remove the FTM_SC_PS_MASK without mentioning it in the
changelog. Either this is by mistake or it wants to be documented WHY
it is not needed in the first place.
