Unfortunately yes. Because we want the divided rate to be lower or equal
to the expected one, I round up the div each time the div_64() produces a
reminder. Thus calling bcm2835_clock_choose_div() with
bcm2835_clock_rate_from_divisor(bcm2835_clock_choose_div()) will still
likely see a reminder from div_64().

I can either put a comment here explaining why we do not update
req->rate or do as the patch attached at the end.
This patch adds an argument to bcm2835_clock_choose_div() to switch on or
off the div round up. Then bcm2835_clock_determine_rate() could choose
the appropriate divisor that produces the highest lower rate while
bcm2835_clock_set_rate() can actually set the divisor which will remain
the same.
On second though I prefer the second solution. What do you think ?
Thanks.
