Maybe:

"""
clk_unprotect completes a critical section during which the clock
consumer cannot tolerate any change to the clock rate. If no other clock
consumers have protected clocks in the parent chain, then calls to this
function will allow the clocks in the parent chain to change rates
freely.

Unlike the clk_set_rate_range method, which allows the rate to change
within a given range, protected clocks cannot have their rate changed,
either directly or indirectly due to changes further up the parent chain
of clocks.

Calls to clk_unprotect must be balanced with calls to clk_protect. Calls
to this function may sleep, and do not return error status.

Hmm, in CCF we basically re-use round_rate/determine_rate from within
calls to clk_set_rate. The point is that clk_set_rate should set the
same rate that is returned from either of the other two functions.

The change above breaks that subtle assumption, as a clk consumer can
now call:

	clk_protect(clk);

	rate = clk_get_rate(clk);		// rate is 1234;

	rate = clk_round_rate(clk, 5678);	// rate is STILL 1234

	ret = clk_set_rate(clk, 5678);

	rate = clk_get_rate(clk);		// rate is 5678

Is my understanding correct? If so then we might consider adding some
more complex knowledge to clk_round_rate. Something like:

	if clk_is_protected(clk) AND it is only protect by THIS clk:
		round the rate
	else:
		return core->rate

Why isn't this change in patch #3? Seems like a bug introduced in patch
#3 and fixed here in patch #4.

The fact that a user can protect a clk AND change its rate is very
subtle. Please update the kerneldoc for clk_set_rate, clk_set_parent and
any other affected apis.

What happens here if two different users have both protected this same
clk? Looks like we ignore the second user?

In other words, what happens if clk->protect_ucount == 2?


Best regards,
Mike
