The value programmed into the bits isn't the same as the what the value
represents.  In this case we program the bits to 10b to use the by 3
divider and 11b to use the by 4 divider. 

It can also be programmed with 01b for a by 2 divider but that's not
used.

The 0x2 and 0x3 would probably be better represented by defines to
make that clear, but I'd think would be a separate patch.
