clk_round_rate(), not the parethesis to indicate it's a function.

Do we really need to pass in a bool pointer here for 'exact_match'?
Can't we calculate the exact match value in the callsite and simply pass
a bool (not pointer) to constrain the logic in this function?

I think u64 is used more often than unsigned long long.

Cast to u64?

What is this checking for? Do we expect the rate to be larger than
32-bits on 32-bit machines?

This needs to use div_u64() to be compatible with 32-bit machines.

Should this be a pr_warn_once()? Because otherwise users are going to
see this error potentially quite often if tolerances can't be achieved.

This is a debug print?
