What is the purpose of this call? IIUC this limits the allowed range of
rates for clk. I assume the idea is to prevent other consumers to change
the rate in a way that makes it unsuitable for this pwm. But this only
makes sense if you had a notifier for clk changes, doesn't it? I'm
confused.

I think this doesn't match the commit log, you didn't even introduced a
call to clk_round_rate().

And now you change the maximal rate again?

It's not obvious to me why removing these two lines belong in the
current patch.
