RE: Regarding CPU frequency reported by Salvator-X board

HI All,

I have further investigated this issue, please find my findings below

The  "cpg_z_clk_round_rate" function is called 2 times from "dev_pm_opp_set_rate" (1 is direct call and other through "clk_set_rate") function.

For 500000000 frequency, after doing math operation(mult = div_u64(rate * 32ULL, prate);), it gets a factor  10--> 10.66 truncated to 10 and the frequency returned by the system is  468748125

On the second " cpg_z_clk_round_rate ", the below function make the value to worse, it gets a value of 9.9999, since it is integer division it is truncated to 9.
mult = div_u64(rate * 32ULL, prate); 

Now the frequency 468748125, after doing math operation becomes 421874 KHz. This is the problem.

So I think the div_64 is wrong here, Instead we could go with DIV64_U64_ROUND_CLOSEST.

With "DIV64_U64_ROUND_CLOSEST" the factor is 10.66 which is rounded to 11.

So for 500000, after math operation, it becomes 515624

Please share your opinion this issue.

Regards,
Biju
