It is common for SD/MMC host controllers to set the parent clock that drives the SD/MMC interface in order to support various operating speeds. Typically, this is performed by calling common clock framework APIs such as clk_set_rate(). The problem is that these APIs may sleep and must not be called from within atomic sections and therefore, these functions cannot be called within the existing 'set_clock' SDHCI operator because they are called from within the context of a spinlock. Add a new 'set_parent_clock' operator for the SDHCI driver that is called early during the SDHCI 'set_ios' before the spinlock is aquire to give the platform driver the opportunity to set the parent clock rate. Please note that, unfortunately, the Tegra and MSM SDHCI drivers currently appear to mis-use the 'set_clock' operator by calling clk_set_rate(). In the case of Tegra, occasionally but not always, 'scheduling while atomic' errors are reported (so most of the time we are getting lucky). In the of the MSM SDHCI driver, it is releasing and re-acquiring the spinlock which is bad.
