This seems to be broken since:

|     clk: divider: fix rate calculation for fractional rates

This patch fixed a case when clk_set_rate(clk_round_rate(rate)) resulted
in a lower frequency than clk_round_rate(rate) returned.

Since then the MULT_ROUND_UP in clk_divider_bestdiv() is inconsistent to
the rest of the divider. Maybe this should be a simple rate * i now, but
I'm unsure what side effects this has.

I think your patch only fixes the behaviour in your case by accident,
it's not a correct fix for this issue.
