Yep...
Broken by d567679f2b6a8

Preceded by:
/* Find int_pllclk speed */
for (div = 0; div < 4; div++) {
int_pllclk = pclk / (1 << div);
if (int_pllclk < (50 * MHZ))
break;
}
with:
#define REG12_CK_DIV_MASK GENMASK(5, 4)

The compiler has optimised (pessimised?) the code somewhat.
If pclk is very large the loop doesn't 'break' so div == 4.
It then does FIELD_PREP(GENMASK(5, 4), 4) - which is an error.
