Contradicting to documenation, the notifier callbacks do receive
the original clock rate in struct clk_notifier_data.old_rate and the new
frequency struct clk_notifier_data.new_rate, independent of the
notification reason.
This behavior also seems to make more sense, since callbacks can use the
same code to deterimine whether clocks are scaled up or down. Something
which would not even possible in the post-rate-change case if the
behavior was as documented.

Hi Mike,
I am working with some clock notifiers and if my results are correct the
notifiers behave differently from how they are documented.
I think the actual behavior makes more sense than the documented and my original
plan was to change the behavior, but it seems I might get away with a
doc-update.
Thanks,
Sören

Hi Soren,
I'm a bit slow to review patches during the merge window. Thanks for
the doc update. I'll take it in after -rc1 drops.
Regards,
Mik

Sorry for my impatience. Thank you!
