I dont know where the misunderstanding is too.

I already did answer that pclk can be /2 for uncompressed.

But for compressed it will be divided by the compression ration.

What is still missing here. Please clarify.

There is no nefarious intent. If it was there we would not have spent 2 
weeks to answer every question on the bug and explaining every math 
about it despite calling our patches hacks.

So either something is still missing in our answers or the questions.

So please ask the question whatever has not been answered one more time.
