This seems backwards to me, it requires children to have knowledge of
the best states for their parents. I don't think it can ever be
implemented safely, either. If the child's set rate needs to decrease
its divider value to increase its rate, but increase the parents
divider to decrease the rate, the clock can end up running too fast,
and out of spec, after set_rate on the child clock has finished, but
set_rate on the parent clock has not been called yet. And if the
parent clock errors out, clk_set_rate returns an error, but the rate
has still changed to some random intermediate value.
Can you explain a use case where propagation is necessary? It doesn't
match the Sascha's reply to my comments on the main patch, where he
said users are best suited to make the decision on the correct parent,
but child clocks are best suited to make the decision on the parent's
rate? Can you point me to a current clock implementation that does
anything like this?
