[PATCH v4 0/2] clk: fractional-divider: Improve approximation when zero based and export

[Frank Oltmanns]

The fractional divider approximation does not utilize the full available
range for clocks that are flagged CLK_FRAC_DIVIDER_ZERO_BASED. This
patchset aims to fix that.

It also adds test cases for the edge cases of fractional divider clocks
with and without the CLK_FRAC_DIVIDER_ZERO_BASED flag to highlight the
changes.

Finally, it also exports clk_fractional_divider_general_approximation so
that the test cases (but also other users like rockchip clk driver) can
be compiled as a module.

Unfortunately, I have no boards to test this patch. So all we have are
the unit tests. It seems the only user of this flag in mainline is
drivers/clk/imx/clk-composite-7ulp.c, therefore I'm cc-ing
get_maintainers.pl --git-blame -f drivers/clk/imx/clk-composite-7ulp.c
in the hopes of a wider audience.

Thank you for considering this contribution,
  Frank

Changes in V4 (since V3):
 - Export clk_fractional_divider_general_approximation so that users
   (e.g., the testcases) can be compiled as modules.
 - Change test cases so that they test
   clk_fractional_divider_general_approximation again (like in V2)
   instead of clk_fd_round_rate (like in V3), but keeping the structure
   of V3 with separate file and individual test cases for each edge
   case.

Changes in V3 (since V2):
 - Completely reworked the test cases
   - Moved tests to separate file as per Stephen's request
   - Move each edge case into their individual test case as per
     Stephen's request
   - Test clk_fd_round_rate instead of
     clk_fractional_divider_general_approximation as testing the latter
     broke builds

Changes in V2 (since V1):
 - Added test case as requested by Stephen Boyd
 - Fixed commit message as the Cc: was missing a closing bracket, so that the
   original mail unfortunately did not go out to A. s. Dong.
