Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 1/5] clk: sunxi-ng: common: Support minimum and maximum
 rate

Hi Frank,

Moving to a new for loop makes sense. Let me know when you have a patch
and I'll be glad to test it on my board. I do also wonder if this may
have contributed to some of the HDMI issues seen in the other thread.

Best,
Robert
