Yes, will do thanks.

I did not set req->rate to best_rate in order to avoid rounding down
twice the actual clock rate.

Indeed with patch 1 from this patchset bcm2835_clock_choose_div()
chooses a divisor that produces a rate lower or equal to the requested
one. As we call bcm2835_clock_choose_div() twice when using
clk_set_rate() (once with ->determine_rate() and once with ->set_rate()),
if I set req->rate in bcm2835_clock_determine_rate to the rounded down
one, the final rate will likely be again rounded down in
bcm2835_clock_set_rate().

Thanks,
