I did some grepping and we already have multiple of these.

E.g. SM8250 CAMCC PLL2 (zonda) goes (or well, should go) up to 3.6 GHz.

Today, only stromer PLL uses determine rate, but perhaps all of them
should.

I would not at all be surprised if many otherwise inexplicable bugs
went away with that change.
