It can be one line to begin with.
Then drop that ugly castings and explicit big shifts.

	freqreg = div64_ul(BIT_ULL(27) * freq, st->mclk_hz / 4);

Now you can see That 4 is only 2 bits, so this can be written in
simpler way:

	freqreg = div64_ul(BIT_ULL(29) * freq, st->mclk_hz);

which may give a better precision at the end of the day.
