I was about to apply this, but one question.

AFAICS the "show" function will simply evaluate GFCS and preset the
returned value to the reader of the attribute, but the documentation
says that this is the switching control frequency in MHz which doesn't
seem to be consistent with the above information.

Is the reader of the attribute required to know the XTAL frequency and
apply the above formula to the value read from it?  If so, the
documentation should be clear about this.
