That's not the case. The failure mechanism comes via adf4371_channel_config().
It calls adf4371_pll_fract_n_get_rate() prior adf4371_set_freq() which initializes
st->mod2 via adf4371_pll_fract_n_compute(). This only happens the first time
during probe and setup. So the solution was to return 0 if st->mod2 == 0.
