this is a very unlikely to happen and generally not really
appreciated.

If you got so far it's basically impossible that clk_rate is '0'.
Uwe asked you in v2 if you actually had such case.

I don't have a strong opinion, thoug... I would drop this patch
unless Dong is OK with it and I can accept it with his ack.
