[PATCH] rust: clk: document overflow panics in `Hertz` constructors

From: Georgios Androutsopoulos

Date: Tue Sep 08 2026 - 18:58:07 EST


`Hertz::from_khz()`, `from_mhz()` and `from_ghz()` multiply their
argument by 1_000, 1_000_000 and 1_000_000_000 respectively without
checking for overflow. When `CONFIG_RUST_OVERFLOW_CHECKS` is enabled,
each panics once its argument exceeds `c_ulong::MAX` divided by that
factor. None of the three documents this. The panic occurs only at
runtime, when the argument is not a constant expression.

Add the missing `# Panics` sections stating the bound for each unit.
