Ah, I didn't know this.  Is that in the TRM somewhere?

...so does it work to just replace:

    ideal_low_div = DIV_ROUND_UP(clk_rate * min_low_ns,
                                 scl_rate * 8 * min_total_ns)

...with:

    ideal_low_div = min_low_div


That will assign all "extra" time to the "high" part.
