The function zynqmp_pll_round_rate is used to find a most appropriate
PLL frequency which the hardware can generate according to the desired
frequency. For example, if the desired frequency is 297MHz, considering
the limited range from PS_PLL_VCO_MIN (1.5GHz) to PS_PLL_VCO_MAX (3.0GHz)
of PLL, zynqmp_pll_round_rate should return 1.872GHz (297MHz * 5).

There are two problems with the current code of zynqmp_pll_round_rate:

1) When the rate is below PS_PLL_VCO_MIN, it can't find a correct rate
when the parameter "rate" is an integer multiple of *prate, in other words,
if "f" is zero, zynqmp_pll_round_rate won't return a valid frequency which
is from PS_PLL_VCO_MIN to PS_PLL_VCO_MAX. For example, *prate is 33MHz
and the rate is 660MHz, zynqmp_pll_round_rate will not boost up rate and
just return 660MHz, and this will cause clk_calc_new_rates failure since
zynqmp_pll_round_rate returns an invalid rate out of its boundaries.

2) Even if the rate is higher than PS_PLL_VCO_MIN, there is still a risk
that zynqmp_pll_round_rate returns an invalid rate because the function
DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST makes some loss in the fractional part. If the parent
clock *prate is 33333333Hz and we want to set the PLL rate to 1.5GHz,
this function will return 1499999985Hz by using the formula below:
    value = *prate * DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(rate, *prate)).
This value is also invalid since it's slightly smaller than PS_PLL_VCO_MIN.
because DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST makes some loss in the fractional part.
