Yep, unfortunately...

That frequency is the minimum rate of that clock. However, since other
devices have similar requirements (unicam in particular) with different
minimum requirements, we will switch to setting a minimum rate instead
of enforcing a particular rate, so that patch would be essentially
s/clk_set_rate/clk_set_min_rate/.

Would that work for you?
