Could you point where in the doc the range 32..64 is documented?
Documentation that I have may be not so complete, but I don't see there
any mention about it.

Anyway, range 32..64 of multipliers is not enough to produce accurate
clock, and a need 128 for 48kHz.

The reasoning is following. I don't know why 32..64 range was declared
for this clock, and whether it would be safe to extend it and include
128, which is required for 48kHz. But I know, that multiplier=128 is
safe and works fine (together divider=5).

Handling of frac should not be removed, it should be fixed to achieve
another rates. But that is not the goal of this commit.
