[PATCH] clk: fractional-divider: check parent rate only for general approximation

From: Katsuhiro Suzuki
Date: Wed Jan 30 2019 - 18:50:40 EST


Custom approximation of fractional-divider may not need parent clock
rate checking. For example Rockchip SoCs work fine using grand parent
clock rate even if target rate is greater than parent.

This patch removes parent clock rate check from custom approximation.

For detailied example, clock tree of Rockchip I2S audio hardware.
- A i2s1_div is integer divider can divide input clock 1/1 ~ 1/16.
Initialize divider value is 1.
- A i2s1_frac is fractional divider can divide input to x/y, x and
y are 16bit integer.
- Clock rate of CPLL is 1.2GHz, GPLL is 491.52MHz.

CPLL --> | selector | ---> i2s1_div -+--> | selector | --> I2S1 MCLK
GPLL --> | | ,--------------' | |
`--> i2s1_frac ---> | |

Clock mux system try to choose suitable one from i2s1_div and
i2s1_frac for master clock (MCLK) of I2S1.

Bad scenario as follows:
- Try to set MCLK to 8.192MHz (32kHz audio replay)
Candidate setting is
- i2s1_div : GPLL / 60 = 8.192MHz
i2s1_div is same as target clock rate, so mux choose this.
i2s1_div output rate is changed 491.52MHz -> 8.192MHz

- After that try to set to 11.2896MHz (44.1kHz audio replay)
Candidate settings are
- i2s1_div : CPLL / 107 = 11.214945MHz
- i2s1_frac: i2s1_div = 8.192MHz
This is because clk_fd_round_rate() thinks target rate
(11.2896MHz) is higher than parent rate (i2s1_div = 8.192MHz)
and returns parent clock rate.
Clock mux system choose i2s1_div, but this clock rate is not
acceptable for I2S driver, so users cannot replay audio.

Expected behavior is:
- Try to set master clock to 11.2896MHz (44.1kHz audio replay)
Candidate settings are
- i2s1_div : CPLL / 107 = 11.214945MHz
- i2s1_frac: i2s1_div * 147/6400 = 11.2896MHz
(change i2s1_div to GPLL / 1 = 491.52MHz)
If apply this commit, clk_fd_round_rate() calls custom
approximate function of Rockchip even if target rate is higher
than parent. Custom function changes both grand parent
(i2s1_div) and parent (i2s_frac) settings at same time.
Clock mux system can choose i2s1_frac and audio works fine.
