I don't see anywhere in clk_set_duty_cycle() where it would bail out
early if the duty cycle was set to what it already is. The default for
these clks is 50%, so I worry that some driver may try to set the duty
cycle to 50% and then fail now. Either we need to check the duty cycle
in the core before calling down into the driver or we need to check it
here in the driver. Can you send a patch to check the current duty cycle
in the core before calling down into the clk ops?
