If rate is the same as set it's correct case.

In current circumstances yes, it will never happen.
But I caught it while adding related code and better return 0 if upper caller
doesn't have such check. Suppose that cpdma module is responsible for itself
and if it's critical I can send this patch along with whole related series.

No objection, but upper caller not always knows current rate and for doing like
this it needs read it first, and this is also some redundancy.
