No, I just wondered about that +1 being the right thing to do. Consider
period_ns was 400003. Then you get required_clk_rate = 639996.
Now we want to prevent that calling dev_pm_opp_set_rate(..., 639996)
yields a rate less than 639996.

You're implicitly claiming that 1279991 will do. But without further
knowledge also that value might yield a rate less than 639996; or 959993
might yield a rate that better fits our needs (i.e.

	639996 <= clk_round_rate(..., 959993) < clk_round_rate(..., 1279991)

). So my question was about "why 1279991?" and if there is implicit
knowledge that makes 1279991 the right choice. Assuming there is such a
reasoning, I'd prefer a comment like:

	/*
	 * To achieve a period not bigger than the requested period we
	 * must ensure that the input clock runs with at least
	 * $required_clk_rate Hz. As consecutive possible rates differ
	 * by a factor of two we double our request if
	 * $required_clk_rate yields a too slow rate.
	 */

I'm not entirely sure this would be a sound assumption but I think you
get the point?! (It might be necessary to double exactly the requested
value and then you still have to make some (reasonable) assumption about
clk_round_rate().)

Best regards
Uwe
