It is possible that a PFD is enabled in HW but not in SW. That means the enable count & prepare count of the PFD clock is '0', so the 'CLK_SET_RATE' flag can do nothing when the rate is changed while the PFD is hw enabled. In order to safely change the pfd rate, we can disable the PFD directly if it is hw enabled but not used by SW end user.
