I think the reason for my misunderstanding might be that in the
3.10-at91 tree, the ssc clk is twice the rate compared to what it is
in the 3.18-at91 tree. This made me assume that the ssc clk had
been changed to mean the rate after the fixed divider by two that
is activated as soon as the ssc clock divider (given by SSC_CMR) is
activated, and that it was a simple matter of multiplying by two to
get to the MCK rate. I further assumed that "Master Clock" in the
"Serial Clock Ratio Considerations" section was this MCK. Maybe
the mistake was to involve the peripheral clock at all?

Ok, so I may have misunderstood, but in that case what does that
mean in terms of finding the "Master Clock" rate that is mentioned
in the "Serial Clock Ratio Considerations" section? Is it perhaps the
rate of the parent clock of the given ssc clk? Or, given the above
explanation, is it correct to simply multiply by two as I have done?
