The issue seems to be that clk_fractional_divider_general_approximation
is not exported as a symbol, while the config builds the clk_test as a
module:
CONFIG_CLK_KUNIT_TEST=m

If I'm not mistaken, this means that I can't test
clk_fractional_divider_general_approximation directly. Instead I'd have
to test it using clk_fractional_divider_ops.round_rate.

Can someone more knowlegdable than me please confirm if my understanding
is correct?

Thanks,
  Frank
