Consider rate = 0xf0000000, lower = 0x7fffffff (= LONG_MAX). Then tmp =
(unsigned long)0x160000000 = 0x60000000. In this case you pick upper =
0x60000000 while you should use upper = LONG_MAX.

I think you need

-	if (tmp > LONG_MAX)
+	if (tmp > LONG_MAX || tmp < rate)

(and a comment)

Is it an idea to do something like:

		if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CLK_SANITY_CHECKS))
			WARN_ON(upper < lower && upper >= 0);

here?

This is broken if you don't assume that __clk_round_rate rounds down.
Consider an implementation that already does round_nearest and clk can
assume the values 0x60000 and 0x85000 (and nothing in between), and rate
= 0x70000. This results in

	lower = 0x60000;
	tmp = 0x7ffff;
	upper = __clk_round_rate(clk, 0x7ffff) = 0x85000

before the loop and the loop then doesn't even terminate.

Best regards
Uwe
