- * Setting the CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT flag allows clk_set_rate to
- * recursively propagate up to clk's parent; whether or not this happens
- * depends on the outcome of clk's .round_rate implementation.  If
- * *parent_rate is 0 after calling .round_rate then upstream parent
- * propagation is ignored.  If *parent_rate comes back with a new rate
- * for clk's parent then we propagate up to clk's parent and set it's
- * rate.  Upward propagation will continue until either a clk does not
- * support the CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT flag or .round_rate stops requesting
- * changes to clk's parent_rate.  If there is a failure during upstream
- * propagation then clk_set_rate will unwind and restore each clk's rate
- * that had been successfully changed.  Afterwards a rate change abort
- * notification will be propagated downstream, starting from the clk
- * that failed.
- *
- * At the end of all of the rate setting, clk_set_rate internally calls
- * __clk_recalc_rates and propagates the rate changes downstream,
- * starting from the highest clk whose rate was changed.  This has the
- * added benefit of propagating post-rate change notifiers.
- *
- * Note that while post-rate change and rate change abort notifications
- * are guaranteed to be sent to a clk only once per call to
- * clk_set_rate, pre-change notifications will be sent for every clk
- * whose rate is changed.  Stacking pre-change notifications is noisy
- * for the drivers subscribed to them, but this allows drivers to react
- * to intermediate clk rate changes up until the point where the final
- * rate is achieved at the end of upstream propagation.
+ * Rate changes are accomplished via tree traversal that also recalculates the
+ * rates for the clocks and fires off POST_RATE_CHANGE notifiers.
  *
  * Returns 0 on success, -EERROR otherwise.
