YesI saw this regression for me later, i had planned to propose a correction
this patch is therefore highly welcome.
Thanks !

I tested this use case with the patch, the good parent is selected (600 
Mhz) and make the
division to have 75 Mhz.

But if CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT is set, it will take the 981 Mhz clock and 
recalculate the parent rate
(because the diff rate is equal or a little better than the 600 Mhz clock)

Which is a shame, all child clocks are affected.

It was the best choice to choose other parent
and do just a division (not recalculate the parent rate)

Best Regards

Gabriel.
