Right, so the frequency returned there is 0. By unknown I assumed that
you are talking about the case where the frequency isn't found in the
table.

Then there is a problem with the implementation of this helper in your
case. This shouldn't try to go compare the value read from the
register with the table, rather convert that directly to a meaningful
frequency. Its like reading registers and then doing some computations
with the values read with the parent PLLs frequency. Something like
what you will normally do in the implementation of clk_get_rate().
