Cool. Thanks for confirming.

Ok. I see.

Makes sense. I've made a set of these tests that call some function,
like __clk_determine_rate() or __clk_mux_determine_rate(), from the
determine_rate clk_op of the leaf. The clk_hw pointer passed to the
function under test is the parent of the clk (the intermediate empty
clk_ops clk). The parent of that intermediate clk is the mux.

I noticed that sometimes the parent_hw wasn't set to the mux_ctx if I
didn't call clk_hw_forward_rate_request() in the clk_op. That's because
functions like __clk_determine_rate() assume the best_parent_hw has been
set already and simply skip setting it at all. It's possible that a
driver may fail to call clk_hw_forward_rate_request() before calling
some determine rate function on the parent. Looks like a pitfall but I'm
not sure how to make it any better.

I have this as two patches in my local tree. I'll send it out tomorrow.
