[PATCH net v4 2/5] dpll: zl3073x: reject output frequencies with too small divisor

From: Ivan Vecera

Date: Fri Oct 09 2026 - 15:32:03 EST


The output divisor has to be at least 2: a divisor of 1 bypasses the
divider and the hardware then ignores the pulse width and eSync
registers. For the N-pin of an N-divided output the N divider (>= 2)
applies on top, so its effective divisor has to be at least 4.

zl3073x_pin_check_freq() only checked that the frequency divides the
synth frequency. Require also the minimum divisor and reject 0 Hz.
For N-divided outputs this is necessary but not sufficient, the rest
is checked by the frequency set callback.
