Some clock sources can generate clock rates higher than (2^31)-1 Hz. Currently, if these rates were returned from clk_round_rate(), they would be considered errors according to the present function prototype and return type. This patch updates the documentation for clk_round_rate() to state that it should return 0 rather than a negative error code when it encounters an error. The common clock framework already works this way; however, other clock code does not yet align to this. A future patch will modify the prototype to return unsigned values from clk_round_rate(). This second version revises the patch description in response to comments from Russell King.
