+	 * Clock craziness.
+	 *
+	 * Key points:
+	 *
+	 * - DRM works in in kHz.
+	 * - Clock framework works in Hz.
+	 * - Rockchip's clock driver picks the clock rate that is the
+	 *   same _OR LOWER_ than the one requested.
+	 *
+	 * Action plan:
+	 *
+	 * 1. When DRM gives us a mode, we should add 999 Hz to it.  That way
+	 *    if the clock we need is 60000001 Hz (~60 MHz) and DRM tells us to
+	 *    make 60000 kHz then the clock framework will actually give us
+	 *    the right clock.
+	 *
+	 *    NOTE: if the PLL (maybe through a divider) could actually make
+	 *    a clock rate 999 Hz higher instead of the one we want then this
+	 *    could be a problem.  Unfortunately there's not much we can do
+	 *    since it's baked into DRM to use kHz.  It shouldn't matter in
+	 *    practice since Rockchip PLLs are controlled by tables and
+	 *    even if there is a divider in the middle I wouldn't expect PLL
+	 *    rates in the table that are just a few kHz different.
+	 *
+	 * 2. Get the clock framework to round the rate for us to tell us
+	 *    what it will actually make.
+	 *
+	 * 3. Store the rounded up rate so that we don't need to worry about
+	 *    this in the actual clk_set_rate().
