Subject: [PATCH v8 3/8] clk: introduce new helper clk_hw_get_children_lcm() to calculate LCM of all child rates
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 15:31:58 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327-clk-scaling-v8-3-86cd0aba3c5f@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327-clk-scaling-v8-0-86cd0aba3c5f@redhat.com>
Introduce a new helper that recursively walks through all children and
their descendants, calculating the lowest common multiple (LCM) of their
rates. For the requesting child, it uses the requested rate; for other
enabled children, it uses their current rate. This is useful for
determining what parent rate can satisfy all children through simple
integer dividers.
