Typical crystal frequencies are 19.2, 24 and 25Mhz.

Hans, I think Cherrytrail may be affected by this as the others.
CHT AFAIK uses 19.2MHz xtal.

Are you sure?

I'm not. I may mixed this with PMC clock.

Ok, then I'm going to go with 25MHz for now.

The first 5 entries of the CHT MSR_FSB_FREQ documentation exactly
match those of the BYT documentation (which has only 5 entries),
which suggests to me that CHT is also using a 25 MHz crystal.

I can also make the other CHT only frequencies when assuming a 25
MHz crystal, here is a bit from the patch I'm working on for this:

/*
* Cherry Trail SDM MSR_FSB_FREQ frequencies to PLL settings map:
* 0000: 25 * 20 / 6 = 83.3333 MHz
* 0001: 25 * 4 / 1 = 100.0000 MHz
* 0010: 25 * 16 / 3 = 133.3333 MHz
* 0011: 25 * 28 / 6 = 116.6667 MHz
* 0100: 25 * 16 / 5 = 80.0000 MHz
* 0101: 25 * 56 / 15 = 93.3333 MHz
* 0110: 25 * 18 / 5 = 90.0000 MHz
* 0111: 25 * 32 / 9 = 88.8889 MHz
* 1000: 25 * 7 / 2 = 87.5000 MHz
*/

The only one which is possibly suspicious here is this line:

* 0111: 25 * 32 / 9 = 88.8889 MHz

The SDM says 88.9 MHz for this one.

Anyway it seems need to be fixed as well.

Btw, why we are mentioning 20 / 6 and 28 / 6 when arithmetically
it's the same as 10 / 3 and 14 / 3?

I copied the BYT values from Thomas' email and I guess he did not
get around to simplifying them, I'll use the simplified versions
for my patch.

Hans
