DRA7xx = OMAP57xx, which to me is an omap5.  Isn't it?

And I haven't been able to get a manual for the omap54xx to confirm it,
although it seems it does not apply to the omap54xx from what I have
been able to gather indirectly.

arch_timer_freq = (rate / den) * num;

If I do this with the workaround I get:

20000000 / 75 * 244 = 6147525

where as

20000000 * 244 / 75 = 6147540

best value would be 6147541 with proper rounding.

In the normal case the worst case is:

26000000 * 384 = 9984000000

That is too big for 32 bits.

Now what could be done is prescale by 4 to make the worst case still
fit in 32 bits while doing the multiplication before the division,
so like this:

arch_timer_freq = ((rate / 4) * num / den ) * 4;

That gives the same result in all cases including the errata case for
the dra7xx at 20MHz and 27MHz.  It is off by 3 in the 19.2MHz case though
which isn't so nice.

Would that be more acceptable?  I think having the arch_timer_freq
calculated for the errata case seperately from the normal case is
cleaner looking compared to that mess and gives a better result for the
19.2MHz case.
