ULONG_MAX is used by a few drivers to figure out the highest available clock rate via clk_round_rate(clk, ULONG_MAX). Since abs() takes a signed value as input, the current logic effectively calculates with ULONG_MAX = -1, which results in the worst parent clock being chosen instead of the best one. For example on Rockchip RK3588 the eMMC driver tries to figure out the highest available clock rate. There are three parent clocks available resulting in the following rate diffs with the existing logic: GPLL: abs(18446744073709551615 - 1188000000) = 1188000001 CPLL: abs(18446744073709551615 - 1500000000) = 1500000001 XIN24M: abs(18446744073709551615 - 24000000) = 24000001 As a result the clock framework will promote a maximum supported clock rate of 24 MHz, even though 1.5GHz are possible. With the updated logic any casting between signed and unsigned is avoided and the numbers look like this instead: GPLL: 18446744073709551615 - 1188000000 = 18446744072521551615 CPLL: 18446744073709551615 - 1500000000 = 18446744072209551615 XIN24M: 18446744073709551615 - 24000000 = 18446744073685551615 As a result the parent with the highest acceptable rate is chosen instead of the parent clock with the lowest one.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
