I've just gotten an answer from allwinner, and the formula in their datasheet
is correct, with the raw register value == CLK_N so the current (before this patch)
u-boot code is correct for Allwinner devices and we need a #ifdef here to keep the
old formula for sunxi devices, you can use:

#ifdef CONFIG_SUNXI

For this.
