Why does this function doesn't return an unsigned long when it never
returns a negative value? Ditto for clk_round_rate?

Is the >-case worth a warning?

This was parenthesized in my original patch on purpose. If rate is big
rate + rate - lower
might overflow when
rate + (rate - lower)
doesn't. Thinking again, there is no real problem, because this is
unsigned arithmetic. To be save we still need to check if rate + (rate -
lower) overflows.

if (upper <= rate) is the better check here. (= would be a bug.)

ok, so your loop invariant is that the best freq is in [lower; upper].

You already know that lower + ((upper - lower) >> 1) is too small, so
you can better do
lower += ((upper - lower) >> 1) + 1;

I think the function still has potential for optimisation, what about:
unsigned long clk_round_rate_nearest(struct clk *clk, unsigned long rate)
{
unsigned long lower, upper, rounded;
rounded = clk_round_rate(clk, rate);
if (rounded >= rate)
return rounded;
/*
* rounded is the best approximation for rate that is not
* bigger than rate. If there is a better one, it must be in the
* interval (rate; rate + (rate - rounded)).
* Note that the upper limit isn't better than rate itself, so
* that one doesn't need to be considered.
*/
upper = rate + (rate - rounded) - 1;
if (upper < rate)
upper = ULONG_MAX;
upper = clk_round_rate(clk, upper);
lower = rate + 1;
/*
* If there is a better approximation than clk_round_rate(clk,
* rate), it is in the interval [lower, upper]. Otherwise all
* values in this interval yield clk_round_rate(clk, rate).
*/
while (lower < upper) {
unsigned long mid;
mid = lower + (upper - lower) >> 1;
rounded = clk_round_rate(clk, mid);
if (rounded < rate) {
/* implies rounded == clk_round_rate(clk, rate); */
lower = mid + 1;
} else {
/*
* rounded is a better approximation than lower
* assuming that rounded <= mid
*/
upper = rounded;
}
}
/*
* upper is always assigned a return value from clk_round_rate,
* so it's suitable for direct return.
*/
return upper;
}
? Note this is not even compile tested ...

I'd put the changes in this hunk up to here into a separate patch.
