This is not correct: fbdev drivers should round up invalid values,
and only return an error if rounding up cannot yield a valid value.
What default value would you recommend? Here are examples of some of the
possible cirrusfb pixclock values:
40000: 25MHz
20000: 50Mhz
12500: 80Mhz
You should pick the lowest supported value.
In bestclock() the frequency value ("freq") is not allowed to go below 8000.

if (freq < 8000)
freq = 8000;

If pixclock is passed in as zero to cirrusfb_check_pixclock(), is it ok
to then set the value of pixclock to 125000, which will result in "freq"
being set to 8000 (or adjust the passed in pixclock value to make sure
"freq" does not get below 8000)?
No, clock rate is the inverse of clock period.
So the smallest clock period (fb_var_screeninfo.pixclock) corresponds
to the largest clock rate (freq in bestclock()).

How about this?

This gets the frequency derived from pixclock to maxclock or rounds up pixclock to get the frequency as close to maxclock as possible.

The work can't be done in cirrusfb_check_pixclock() as var->pixclock is read-only because "var" is "const struct fb_var_screeninfo *var".

Thank you,
George
