Perhaps the const should be dropped from the var parameter, so the
rounding can be done in the function where it makes most sense,
and where most of the above operations are already done?

Then, you can simplify:

-        freq = PICOS2KHZ(var->pixclock);
+        freq = PICOS2KHZ(var->pixclock ? : 1);

and change the "if (freq > maxclock) return -EINVAL" to use maxclock
instead.
