Subject: [PATCH] clk: shmobile: div6: Avoid division by zero in .round_rate()

Anyone may call clk_round_rate() with a zero rate value, so we have to
protect against that.

Shouldn't this be checked and fixed up in clk_round_rate() then?

Not all implementations need to divide by the requested rate, so I don't think
a check in the core is the best solution.

I agree that this should not be fixed in the core because the fixup is
really driver dependant.

Dunno, zero frequency seems generally insane to me.

It is useful to find the lowest frequency a clock can support. Basically
it is a search for the floor frequency.

Why not just use 1? Or are you assuming that some hardware could actually
support 0 Hz?

Applied to clk-next.

Replying to myself: yes, this has happened to me, when I forgot to
override the EXTAL frequency in the board .dts file (default was 0).

So it was a good thing that the driver crashed, it let you find a bug ;-)

Jokes aside, a zero frequency is the usual way to find the lowest frequency,
but I agree that there aren't many integers between 0 and 1. Mike, do you have
an opinion ?

Yes, I think we should support passing a zero rate for two reasons:

1) it's crazy to not sanitize a value that is passed into a function and
used as a divisor. This is not really a shortcoming of the framework.

2) during the fractional divider discussion there was the idea of making
unsigned long rate into something like millihertz. E.g. rate = 1000 is
1Hz. If we start cheating by passing a rate of 1 into .round_rate, then
we've just created a bug for ourselves if we ever move to millihertz.

Mike

None of the clock drivers crashed, but the SDHI driver hanged instead, and
I spent much time tracing it in order to find where it hanged. :-/
