Thanks for fixing this!

While I have no issue taking this change through the clk-renesas tree if
Andrew provides his Acked-by, I think the introduction of
DIV64_U64_ROUND_CLOSEST() should be a separate patch.

However, given commit 68600f623d69da42 ("mm: don't miss the last page
because of round-off error") added both DIV64_U64_ROUND_UP() and its
user under mm/, there's precedence for not splitting it off...
