No mixed C/C++ comments in hwmon drivers.

Are you saying that clk_get_rate() is wrong ? Anyway, if the DT is bad, it should be fixed.
I am not a friend of hacking drivers to fix up bad DTs, and much less so without explanation.
Plus, how do we know that the next chip supported by the driver doesn't have a 32MHz clock ?
Really, please fix the DT.
