Yes it can be. That is how I found the issue as I had a negative value 
in imx_pll14xx_rate_table which used to work but broke with the above 
mentioned commit.

The i.MX8MM reference manual states:

The comments in the imx_pll14xx_calc_settings function also mention the 
same range for kdiv. And this function also uses negative values. For 
example:

(glitch free) */

 >rate_max = pll14xx_calc_rate(pll, mdiv, pdiv, sdiv, KDIV_MAX, prate);

Where KDIV_MIN is defined as SHRT_MIN which is negative.
