Hi Sudeep,

I share my build warning and some in-line comment below:

I applied the patch,
Although there are some build warnings, but the patch effect is ok.

It is better to add 'const' as below to avoid warning.
const u64 *r1 = _r1, *r2 = _r2;

>+

r1 and r2 are u64, but returned value is 'int' type.
Do you think we should improve this ? e.g. return (int)r1 - r2;

About warning of above line, I think it relates to below snip of code:
                if (tot_rate_cnt + num_returned > SCMI_MAX_NUM_RATES) {
                        dev_err(handle->dev, "No. of rates > MAX_NUM_RATES");
                        break;
                }

I see that in this case is true, it is not proceeded as error case,
If so I think you can update 'rate' for value from 'tot_rate_cnt' to SCMI_MAX_NUM_RATES at here.
How do you think ?

Best regard.
