Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] zx29_pll_determine_rate ignores the req->min_rate and req->max_rate constraints provided by the clock framework, potentially violating bounds.

clk: zte: Add zx PLL support infrastructure

This commit introduces the ZX PLL support infrastructure for ZTE platforms,
adding rate calculation, prepare/enable operations, and registration logic.

[Severity: Medium]
Since this loop unconditionally picks the closest hardware frequency to the
requested rate, is it possible that it selects a frequency outside of the CCF
boundaries? 

If a driver sets strict constraints via clk_set_rate_range(), and the nearest
PLL approximation falls outside that range while a valid alternative exists
inside it, clk_calc_new_rates() might reject the out-of-bounds rate.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this code need to consider req->min_rate and req->max_rate before
calculating the new rate? The minimum and maximum boundaries passed by the
clock framework to restrict the search appear to be ignored here.
