This PLL frequency is likely to be chip internal frequency. And windows driver doesn't touch it.

I don't think that is a hardware bug, rather a limitation. Lets leave it as is. I will soon publish the driver on launchpad or something like that and try to contact users I debugged that driver with, and then see what ranges PLL register takes. > > > > + pll_freq = (ene_hw_read_reg(dev, ENE_PLLFRH) << 4) + > > + (ene_hw_read_reg(dev, ENE_PLLFRL) >> 2); > > I can understand the shift of the high bits, but that shift of the low > bits is unlikely.
