Is there a reason to conditionalize this? Couldn't we simply set the
clock to the maximum frequency in all cases? Higher frequency means
higher precision, right? So just something like this perhaps:

ret = clk_set_rate(pwm->clk, pwm->soc->max_frequency);
if (ret < 0) {
...
}

pwm->clk_rate = clk_get_rate(pwm->clk);

That of course means that we'd need to define a maximum frequency for
SoCs prior to Tegra210. Any chance we can get at them?

I don't think we need these comments, it's fairly obvious what
frequencies you're specifying there. =)
