I'm confused by this description vs the code.

As far as I can see fract_n_get_rate is only called on a sysfs read of
the frequency. 

mod2 is set when fract_n_compute is called in the relevant set_freq calls.
This seems to occur on a sysfs set frequency call.

So the issue here is that a sysfs read before a write of the frequency
will cause a div zero?  If so, is there a sane set of initial values we
can put in mod2 and friends before exposing them via the device register?

If mod2==0 is a valid value and indicates for example that the channel
is turned off, then the description should make that clear.
