Hi Peng,

Yes. The clk_set_rate will return failure(0) if the clock was not 
changed, due to maybe an incorrect rate was set. However, this does not 
mean that we need to bail out.
The clock can be preconfigured from DT property assigned-clocks.
When calling clk_get_rate, we get the currently assigned rate.

Here is an example:

sama7g5 SoC supports clock at maximum 200 Mhz. Thus we assign 200 Mhz 
from assigned-clocks property.

The driver will call set_rate with 240 Mhz (predefined in driver). It 
will fail, return code 0.
However, the clock works at 200 Mhz and already configured.
When requesting the rate, we get the 200 Mhz from the clock subsystem.
We can move forward, and have host->max_clk = max_clk, as done below in 
the driver.

Does this look good to you ?

Thanks,
Eugen
