  * Copyright (C) 2014 Intel Corporation
  *
  * Adjustable fractional divider clock implementation.
- * Output rate = (m / n) * parent_rate.
  * Uses rational best approximation algorithm.
+ *
+ * Output is calculated as
+ *
+ *	rate = (m / n) * parent_rate				(1)
+ *
+ * This is useful when we have a prescaler block which asks for
+ * m (numerator) and n (denominator) values to be provided to satisfy
+ * the (1) as much as possible.
+ *
+ * Since m and n have the limitation by a range, e.g.
+ *
+ *	n >= 1, n < N_width, where N_width = 2^nwidth		(2)
+ *
+ * for some cases the output may be saturated. Hence, from (1) and (2),
+ * assuming the worst case when m = 1, the inequality
+ *
+ *	floor(log2(parent_rate / rate)) <= nwidth		(3)
+ *
+ * may be derived. Thus, in cases when
+ *
+ *	(parent_rate / rate) >> N_width				(4)
+ *
+ * we might scale up the rate by 2^scale (see the description of
+ * CLK_FRAC_DIVIDER_POWER_OF_TWO_PS for additional information), where
+ *
+ *	scale = floor(log2(parent_rate / rate)) - nwidth	(5)
+ *
+ * and assume that the IP, that needs m and n, has also its own
+ * prescaler, which is capable to divide by 2^scale. In this way
+ * we get the denominator to satisfy the desired range (2) and
+ * at the same time much much better result of m and n than simple
+ * saturated values.
