Eh, this is how flag CLK_GATE_SET_RATE is born? Does that mean to make
the call succeed all the clocks on the propagating path need to be gated
before clk_set_rate gets called?

Yes, right here, the clock gets set to some unexpected rate, since the
parent clock has not been set to the target rate yet at this point.

Eh, why adding a duplication?

Do you really need this?

The return type seems interesting. If we intend to return a rate, it
should be 'unsigned long' rather than 'long'. I'm just curious about
the possible reason behind that.

Nit: would it be reasonable to put set_rate after round_rate to group
*_rate functions together?

Do we really need to export all these common clk internal functions?
