If no best divider is normally found, we will try to use the maximum divider. We should not set the parent clock rate to be 1Hz by force for being rounded. Instead, we should take the maximum divider as a base and calculate a correct parent clock rate for being rounded.
Please add an explanation why you think the current code is wrong and what this actually fixes, maybe an example?
The MIPI DSI panel's pixel clock rate is 26.4MHz and it's derived from PLL5 on the MX6DL SabreSD board.
These are the clock tree summaries with or without the patch applied:

This seems to be broken since:
| commit b11d282dbea27db1788893115dfca8a7856bf205 | Author: Tomi Valkeinen tomi.valkeinen@ti.com | Date: Thu Feb 13 12:03:59 2014 +0200 | | clk: divider: fix rate calculation for fractional rates
This patch fixed a case when clk_set_rate(clk_round_rate(rate)) resulted in a lower frequency than clk_round_rate(rate) returned.
Since then the MULT_ROUND_UP in clk_divider_bestdiv() is inconsistent to the rest of the divider. Maybe this should be a simple rate * i now, but I'm unsure what side effects this has.
I think your patch only fixes the behaviour in your case by accident, it's not a correct fix for this issue.
Well, it's defined that:
new_rate = clk_round_rate(clk, rate);
returns the rate which you would get if you did:
clk_set_rate(clk, rate); new_rate = clk_get_rate(clk);
The reasoning here is that clk_round_rate() gives you a way to query what rate you would get if you were to ask for the rate to be set, without effecting a change in the hardware.
The idea that you should call clk_round_rate() first before clk_set_rate() and pass the returned rounded rate into clk_set_rate() is really idiotic given that. Please don't do it, and please remove code which does it, and in review comment on it. Thanks.
Tomis patch is based on the assumption that clk_set_rate(clk_round_rate(rate)) is equal to clk_round_rate(rate). So when this assumption is wrong then it should simply be reverted. So Liu, could you test if reverting Tomis patch fixes your problem?
Yes, I'll test tomorrow when I have access to my board.
