From: Troy Kisky troy.kisky@boundarydevices.com
commit 05a03bf260e0480bfc0db91b1fdbc2115e3f193b upstream.
m41t80_sqw_set_rate will be called with the result from m41t80_sqw_round_rate, so might as well make m41t80_sqw_set_rate(n) same as m41t80_sqw_set_rate(m41t80_sqw_round_rate(n))
As Russell King wrote[1], "clk_round_rate() is supposed to tell you what you end up with if you ask clk_set_rate() to set the exact same value you passed in - but clk_round_rate() won't modify the hardware."
