Re: [PATCH v10 07/12] clk: zte: Add zx PLL support infrastructure

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] Due to integer division truncation, valid PLL configurations are falsely rejected during clk_set_rate(), causing frequency changes to fail when the calculated VCO falls slightly below the minimum limit.

clk: zte: Add zx PLL support infrastructure

This commit adds PLL support infrastructure for ZTE ZX-series platforms.
It implements the standard clock API operations including rate calculation,
parent selection, and configuration of fractional and post dividers.

[Severity: Medium]
Can this strict lower bound check reject valid configurations? 

If a frequency is requested where the chosen dividers produce a VCO at or
just above the 900 MHz minimum, integer division truncation might cause the
recalculated vco to fall slightly below ZX29_PLL_VCO_MIN_FREQ, falsely
rejecting the configuration.

[Severity: Medium]
Will zx29_pll_set_rate() unexpectedly fail here for valid rates it previously
advertised via zx29_pll_determine_rate()?

If the requested rate was slightly truncated due to integer division, passing
it back into zx29_pll_calc_values() with strict exact-match bounds where
min_rate and max_rate equal the truncated rate might trigger the minimum VCO
limit check shown above. This would result in returning -EINVAL and breaking
the frequency change.
