version 2 resolves the following kernel warning
"
    drivers/clk/clk.c: In function 'clk_propagate_rate_change':
 >> drivers/clk/clk.c:1441:3: warning: return makes pointer from integer 
without a cast
       return -EBUSY;
       ^
"
I forgot to add a changelog in v2 patch, sorry for the confusion caused.

Thanks,
