Code/data size and likely performance would be slightly better if you
only add ab_coeff/ib_coeff to the node and not the provider. This is
slightly inconvenient because you need to duplicate the same value on
a lot of nodes, but the per-node memory is reserved anyway. You might
as well use I would say.

bus_clk_rate should be in previous patch :)
