Re: [PATCH] clk: fractional-divider: check parent rate only for general approximation

[Katsuhiro Suzuki <katsuhiro@katsuster.net>]

Hello Stephen,

Thanks a lot for your review. I choose clk_hw_can_set_parent_rate()
macro and fix typo and patch description. And I post v2 patch.

Best Regards,
Katsuhiro Suzuki
