Subject: clk: update clk API documentation to clarify clk_round_rate()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d2d14a77886485310ec66e575f00ea5232ac7a14;p=linux-beck.git

clk: update clk API documentation to clarify clk_round_rate()

The idea is that rate = clk_round_rate(clk, r) is equivalent to:

	clk_set_rate(clk, r);
	rate = clk_get_rate(clk);

except that clk_round_rate() does not change the hardware in any way.
