These if conditions are an easy way to avoid spamming "min_rate": 0, 
"max_rate": 18446744073709551615 in json. If you object to the 
inconsistency a nice solution would to be show "null" in both debugfs 
and json.

Outright hiding min/max files from debugfs is impractical, it would 
require filesystem calls from clk_set_min_rate
