Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] clk: test: use __clk_mux_determine_rate() and remove FIXME

From: Yang Xiwen <[email protected]>

Recent clk core fix resolved the bug in the FIXME comment. Now replace
the .determine_rate field back to __clk_mux_determine_rate() and remove
the FIXME comment.

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] clk: set initial best mux parent to current parent when determining rate

From: Yang Xiwen <[email protected]>

Originally, the initial clock rate is hardcoded to 0, this can lead to
some problem when setting a very small rate with CLK_MUX_ROUND_CLOSEST.

For example, if the lowest possible rate provided by the mux is 1000Hz,
setting a rate below 500Hz will fail, because no clock can provide a
better rate than the non-existant 0Hz. But it should succeed with 1000Hz
being set.

Setting the initial best parent to current parent could solve this bug.

That patch makes sense to me, but this changes the behaviour of the function.

Before, if we couldn't find a good configuration for the rate, we were
error'ing out. Now, we keep the current configuration. We should
document the new behaviour in the function documentation, and we should
probably run that through kernelci to make sure we aren't breaking any
platform (and from experience, we probably are).

We can limit the new behavior to CLK_MUX_ROUND_CLOSEST as well. The
current behavior is okay for common muxes i think. Though probably wrong
for CLK_MUX_ROUND_CLOSEST.
