Let me remove all non-ascii characters from this mail! If someone has the mail please rebounce it to the list. Otherwise, I think I basically said this is OK because clk_round_rate() semantics are specifically vague here to allow the implementation to decide how rates are rounded (up, down, closest, etc). As long as the whole rate space is searched with a +1 or a -1 style of search it should be work. We're not going to add round_up() or round_down() APIs as far as I'm concerned, and you can look on the list to see previous proposals on that topic to get some background on why they aren't liked.

It may not be guaranteed by the clock framework itself, but it is guaranteed to behave like that on this family of SoCs. You shouldn't rely on that. Experience shows that people will start copying code to machines where this is not guaranteed. Even if they don't copy and only learn from reading this is bad.

The algorithm will start with 'rate' being the parent clock's rate, which will always be the highest rate that the child clock will support. Ah right, I missed that bit. Thanks, -Paul

You are assuming stuff here about the parent clk which isn't
guaranteed
(AFAICT) by the clk framework: If you call clk_round_rate(clk, rate -
1)
this might well return rate even if the clock could run slower than
rate.
It may not be guaranteed by the clock framework itself, but it is
guaranteed
to behave like that on this family of SoCs.
Wouldn't it make sense to start iterating with rate = 0x * 1e9 /
period? Otherwise you get bad configurations if rate is considerable
slower than necessary.
The algorithm will start with 'rate' being the parent clock's rate,
which
will always be the highest rate that the child clock will support.
