Subject: clk: clk_round_rate() should return 0, not negative numbers, upon error
Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:55:33 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.02.1311251553080.23090@tamien> (raw)
Update the documentation for clk_round_rate() to state that it should
return 0 rather than a negative error code when it encounters an
error. This describes how the common clock framework currently works;
howeever, some clock code does not yet align to this.
This change is to prepare for returning unsigned values from
clk_round_rate().
