You clk_get_rate() isn't written well then, it should return zero.
@Mike: I didn't see this clearly mentioned in clk.h, should we fix
that?

That's a bad check. We should have done this instead:

(s32)freq < 0; but that would be true for high values of clock. And that's
why clk_get_rate() must return zero for errors.
