This is something that was discussed on the list but not taken in due
to rapid flux in code.  I always liked the idea however.

This places the burden of checking the flags onto the .round_rate
implementation with __clk_get_flags, but that's not a problem really.

This is wrong.  CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT is a common clock flag applied to
struct clk's .flags member, not the divider.  This function must still
use __clk_get_flags(hw->clk) here, but that's OK.

ACK, besides my comment above.

As mentioned above, you'll still need to check for CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT
in your .round_rate implementation with __clk_get_flags(hw->clk).

Did you want to send a formal patch or just have me absorb this into
the fixes I'm brewing already?  I've already fixed the potential null
ptr dereferences in clk_calc_new_rates, but that's no big deal.

Mike
