deprecated ? that is really confusing

That seems to imply that it does have an effect but you are choosing not
to use it. Please clarify.

What about bit 17 and 18 then ? does it have any effect at all ?

You are mixing "HW support" and "usage choice" here.

What I read is :
* Da says the SYS PLL does have HW support for the frac parameter
* Amlogic does not see the point of using it since the CPU does not
  require fine tuning of the rate.

Is that correct ? or is the HW just no present ?
