[PATCH v1 1/3] clk: clocking-wizard: fix clock difference detection

From: Colin Foster

Date: Wed May 06 2026 - 16:06:32 EST


The diff calculation didn't take into account rollover. As such, a
target clock frequency below the requested rate would not be considered.

Before this change, bogus diffs would be used to determine the closest
possible clock:

8<--------
clk-wizard-test: requesting 133312500 Hz on output 0 (clock NOT enabled)
*** Clock wizard - Matching for rate 133312500 parent rate 99999000
m = 33, d = 1, o = 25, freq = 131998680, diff = 18446744073708237796
m = 34, d = 1, o = 26, freq = 130767923, diff = 18446744073707007039
m = 35, d = 1, o = 26, freq = 134614038, diff = 1301538
m = 36, d = 1, o = 27, freq = 133332000, diff = 19500
8<--------

After this change:

8<--------
clk-wizard-test: requesting 133312500 Hz on output 0 (clock NOT enabled)
*** Clock wizard - Matching for rate 133312500 parent rate 99999000
m = 33, d = 1, o = 25, freq = 131998680, diff = 1313820
m = 35, d = 1, o = 26, freq = 134614038, diff = 1301538
m = 36, d = 1, o = 27, freq = 133332000, diff = 19500
8<--------
