According to our fixed value, I think that I can use bit shift to reduce one divide function:

rate = clk_get_rate(priv->clk);
/* Get the smallest value for div_h  */
div_h = rate * state->period;
div_h >>= (__fls(PWM_ASPEED_FIXED_PERIOD + 1) +
	   __fls(FIELD_MAX(PWM_ASPEED_CTRL_CLK_DIV_L) + 1));
div_h = DIV_ROUND_DOWN_ULL(div_h, NSEC_PER_SEC);

Did you check how this is compiled to code? I'd expect that it doesn't
result in better code than writing it as a division. Given that a
division is easier to understand for a human reader, I'd stick to that.

Best regards
Uwe
