It looks like the strings such as 16-50, 50-150, etc. are redundant (the 
computed value using clkin is also shown), unhelpful (it's not obvious 
that it's supposed to be a range -- and what is the range really 
supposed to tell you?), and just wrong (it assumes certain possible clkins).

Look at cpu_clk and bus_clk instead, which have the values you're expecting.

Why use such old code?
