Remove old and misleading documentation from the previous clk_set_rate
implementaion.

- * notification will be propagated downstream, starting from the clk
- * that failed.
- *
- * At the end of all of the rate setting, clk_set_rate internally calls
- * __clk_recalc_rates and propagates the rate changes downstream,
- * starting from the highest clk whose rate was changed.  This has the
- * added benefit of propagating post-rate change notifiers.
- *
- * Note that while post-rate change and rate change abort notifications
- * are guaranteed to be sent to a clk only once per call to
- * clk_set_rate, pre-change notifications will be sent for every clk
- * whose rate is changed.  Stacking pre-change notifications is noisy
- * for the drivers subscribed to them, but this allows drivers to react
- * to intermediate clk rate changes up until the point where the final
- * rate is achieved at the end of upstream propagation.
+ * Rate changes are accomplished via tree traversal that also recalculates the
+ * rates for the clocks and fires off POST_RATE_CHANGE notifiers.
  *
  * Returns 0 on success, -EERROR otherwise.
