Or just "divider". The rest should be clear from the context.

So ns_in_one_cycle should hold a proper value once we call mmc_davinci_prepare_data(). I think there is no harm in having this calculation here.

I see. I thought this was some fiddling to override the core's decision
on clock frequency.

Why do you need to calculate the timeout differently based on
push-pull/open drain mode though?
