I see why arch_timer_freq might skip the rounding error of 39, 15 and
55 Vs existing logic which is possibly at a truncation error risk
(without errata for sysclk 13, 26 and 27MHz).

all you'd probably need to do is cast rate, num and den to unsigned
long and have a common computation logic.

if you'd really want to handle truncation error, it must be a separate
patch of it's own - I would not mix it with the errata fix.
