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);

div_h = order_base_2(div_h);
if (div_h > 0xf)
div_h = 0xf;

div_l = rate * state->period;
div_l >>= (__fls(PWM_ASPEED_FIXED_PERIOD + 1) + div_h);
div_l = DIV_ROUND_DOWN_ULL(div_l, NSEC_PER_SEC);

How about this change of the driver?

Thanks
