my first idea was to basically let the new _determine_rate code just
forward all relevant parameters to _round_rate
however, I discarded that as it turned out to be less understandable
for me as parameters need to be mapped in both ways

while writing this mail I noticed that the opposite direction
(meaning: _round_rate forwards to _determine_rate) will probably work.
I'll give it a try in the next days
if you had anything else in mind then please let me know

sure, I'll add that as a separate patch in this series
note to myself: testing can be done with the MMC drivers as we're
using the generic clk_divider_ops there
