Hi Elaine,

sorry this took a bit longer, but I didn't manage to find the time to
respond properly until now.

Fractional dividers may have special requirements concerning numerator
and denominator selection that differ from just getting the best
approximation.

For example on Rockchip socs the denominator must be at least 20 times
larger than the numerator to generate precise clock frequencies.

Therefore add the ability to provide custom approximation functions,
approx = rockchip_fractional_special_approx;
but approx = NULL in the default case.

RK document description:
3.1.9  Fractional divider usage
To get specific frequency, clocks of I2S, SPDIF, UARTcan be generated by
fractional divider. Generally you must set that denominator is 20 times
larger than numerator to generate precise clock frequency. So the
fractional divider applies only to generate low frequency clock like
I2S, UART.

The code below does go into the right direction, but I'd really like to
have the full approximation  overrideable. The reason is that while on
Rockchip SoCs it's enough to increase the parent rate, other socs might
have completely different requirements when determining numerator
and denominator.

So I've taken the time and modified your patch into 2 that look like I
would envision it - compile-tested only, so please test :-)
But essentially it only moves some things around but should be
functionally equivalent to your patch.

I'll add the patches as replies to this mail.


Two more things to keep in mind for the future below:

not needed, as fd is allocated via kzalloc, so this is already NULL.
Also it is nicer to spell approximation full (which I've done in my rework)
