Tom,

Yes, the intent of function is to determine the master clock.
But, by the time this function is executed, the divider has
a value. (Usually set by the x-loader for OMAP boards).

Before we hit this code, the some clocks are already derived
(either by default OR by x-loader). The function as it exists
Today, does not follow any sequence to contain the effect of
changing the divider.

In case of 3730 (similar to 3630) we are possibly overshooting
the tolerance zone. Using Lauterbach we can see that contents
of each window starts to 'auto-refresh' as soon as the divider
Changes - sometimes after restoring the divider. A clear
indication of system becoming unstable.

Of course, once in 4-5 times this issue was noticed in x-loader
as well which has almost same code for the purpose.

The intent of function is to determine the OSC frequency; which
can be determined without having to change the divider... by
multiplying by the same factor.

Overall, the empirical formula is same; but this patch ensures
that HW need not change for the calculations.

Sanjeev
