I might misinterpret the idea here, but is clk_set_rate() function
ready to handle atomic change for several clocks? Especially setting
rate of dividers located in the same register, represented as different
clocks to CCF.
As fair as I remember it was not possible to serialize operations on
clocks with calling clk_set_rate() several times. Those had to be done
instantly, otherwise platform hanged.
Am I missing something, or a major improvement had I overlooked?
