The ST Flexgen clocks implements a mux with a set_parent hook, but doesn't provide a determine_rate implementation. This is a bit odd, since set_parent() is there to, as its name implies, change the parent of a clock. However, the most likely candidate to trigger that parent change is a call to clk_set_rate(), with determine_rate() figuring out which parent is the best suited for a given rate. The other trigger would be a call to clk_set_parent(), but it's far less used, and it doesn't look like there's any obvious user for that clock. So, the set_parent hook is effectively unused, possibly because of an oversight. However, it could also be an explicit decision by the original author to avoid any reparenting but through an explicit call to clk_set_parent(). The driver does implement round_rate() though, which means that we can change the rate of the clock, but we will never get to change the parent. However, It's hard to tell whether it's been done on purpose or not. Since we'll start mandating a determine_rate() implementation, let's convert the round_rate() implementation to a determine_rate(), which will also make the current behavior explicit. And if it was an oversight, the clock behaviour can be adjusted later on.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
