In the probe function it's called "clk_rate". We have:

clk_rate = clk_get_rate(pwm->pwm_clk);
...
val = (u64)NSEC_PER_SEC * 512 * pwm->data->max_timebase;
do_div(val, clk_rate);
pwm->max_period_ns = val;

and in img_pwm_config we have:

input_clk_hz = clk_get_rate(pwm_chip->pwm_clk);

I used the name used in img_pwm_config with the intention that my
reasoning is easier to understand, but obviously I failed.

This by the way highlights another patch opportunity: Unify the names
that the same thing gets the same name in the different functions. This
doesn't only affect "clk_rate" vs "input_clk_hz", but also "pwm_chip"
vs. "pwm".

Best regards
Uwe
