I am not sure what the kernel you are talking about now.

In linux-3.10-at91 branch on github.com/linux4sam/linux-at91. In the 
<arch/arm/mach-at91/sama5d3.c>

static struct clk ssc0_clk = {
         .name           = "ssc0_clk",
         .pid            = SAMA5D3_ID_SSC0,
         .type           = CLK_TYPE_PERIPHERAL,
         .div            = AT91_PMC_PCR_DIV2,
};
static struct clk ssc1_clk = {
         .name           = "ssc1_clk",
         .pid            = SAMA5D3_ID_SSC1,
         .type           = CLK_TYPE_PERIPHERAL,
         .div            = AT91_PMC_PCR_DIV2,
};

That means, the clock output from PMC is "system clock / 2" which will 
be fed to ssc (here we call it SSC peripheral clock = "system clock / 2").

I mean in that section you mentioned. The "Master Clock" is the same as 
"Peripheral Clock". So, you get the SSC peripheral clock is what the 
clock ("Master Clock") you try to get ( clk_get_rate(ssc_p->ssc->clk)).
