This might have side effects as it now enables the clock before calling
the clk_set_rate(). Also changes the clock start up ordering. Neither is that
scary a change, but on really fussy hardware they might cause problems.

Add a few rock-chips people who have sent patches in last few years
to hopefully take a look or even better run a test.
I believe you found a bug in the patch. The possible solutions are:
- not take the patch
- disable and re-enable clock around clk_set_rate()

IIRC clk_set_rate() will spit a WARN if clock is enabled.
You mean in general? I think that's wrong. There might be some clks that
do that, but I'd consider them strange. If you ask me, calling
clk_set_rate() for a *disabled* clk is the strange concept ...
I think it's correct from the logic and electrical perspective. That's
why the preparation and enablement are separated in CCF. But please
double check, because I can't remember everything by heart.
In my book the separation is done because "enabling" has to sleep for
some clks (e.g. PLLs) while a sleeping clk_enable() is bad for various
use cases and most clks don't sleep for enabling.
Yeah, but the idea of changing clock rate on the fly may produce
interesting side-effects on hardware level (with PLL latencies to lock
the phase and possible glitches). So, changing clock against enabled
hardware (not in reset / power off state) seems not a good idea.

The clk_set_rate() API will internally disable the clock, if the clock chip requires it. See `CLK_SET_RATE_GATE` flag.

But I tend to agree, the better idiom is to `set_rate` we should do that before `enable`. This will avoid any unintentional glitches on the clock signal
