Sure. Can you please check one more time your patch and what is
still missing after Stanley's fix? That's now in omap-fixes and master
branches as commit 11e1ef2d105900a302b7ca92bcaf96a96d0274a1.

Yeah we should print some warning if the retime function is not
implemented as it can cause mysterious bugs later on. I guess
implementing a dummy retime function would be best as then the
warning would be related to the actual L3 rate change.
