We have a problem with columns on commit log, they shouldn't be longer 
than 72 cols, so please check the editor you're using for commit log 
writing and set 72 cols costrains. I use nano and you only need to set 
in .gitconfig under [core]:
editor = nano -b -r 72

This way nano automatically put a CR.

here you still have different tab numbers. Enable in your editor the
option to show whitespaces and tabs, that way everything it easier.

clk_get_rate() has a wrong description in include/clk.h saying:
"@return clock rate in Hz, or -ve error code."

This                            ^^^ is wrong.
If you dig into drivers/clk/clk-uclass.c and look for clk_get_rate(), 
you will see that it returns 0 on error and > 0 if succesfull.

I've just sent a patch for this:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20210210173722.4823-1-giulio.benetti@benettiengineering.com/

> +	if ((int)rate <= 0) {

This        ^^^^ is a cast trying to solve the problem above but it's 
not correct. clk_get_rate() returns ulong, not int, so modify "int rate" 
into "ulong rate".

Extend to /* Only support 24MHz crystal clock */ otherwise it seems that 
every 24Mhz clock is accepted and it's not that way.

I don't know a sure way to be bounded to crystal clock, suggestions are 
welcome.

Here you should check against maximum value of PRESCALER(0xFFF), if 
prescaler is > 0xFFF then you have to return with error.

Here IPG_CLK should be IPG_CLK_24M as discussed previously.
