Actually, all of them but the comment fix are real fix.

"clk: sunxi-ng: use 1 as fallback for minimum multiplier" can lead to
a multiplier set to 0 in some cases (depending on the rate asked for),
and "clk: sunxi-ng: Fix round_rate/set_rate multiplier minimum
mismatch" will prevent inconsistensies in factors selection between
round_rate and set_rate.

So, yes, they are not critical fixes in the sense that it will fix a
panic. but still those are bugs.
