Well, it's defined that: new_rate = clk_round_rate(clk, rate); returns the rate which you would get if you did: clk_set_rate(clk, rate); new_rate = clk_get_rate(clk); The reasoning here is that clk_round_rate() gives you a way to query what rate you would get if you were to ask for the rate to be set, without effecting a change in the hardware. The idea that you should call clk_round_rate() first before clk_set_rate() and pass the returned rounded rate into clk_set_rate() is really idiotic given that. Please don't do it, and please remove code which does it, and in review comment on it.
