Hi, in theory the WAN path should never happen, as it means no parent
for the clk are present. So I guess with your logic printing a WARN is
correct.

About the rounding policy this is more or less problematic, it's a
CLOSEST policy, so not a CEIL or FLOOR one. The determine_rate apply the
very same selection logic of set_rate so also that should be good.

I sent v5 some time ago with the concern here addressed so if you have
time it would be good if you can check that.
