Looks good. Out of curiosity, what are the plans on how to change the
clk_round_rate() API. I assume that at some point it will be modified
to return an unsigned long? At that point we'll need to update all
drivers as well to make sure the signed variables don't overflow.

Perhaps unsigned long long would be a better choice for future
compatibility?
