from earlier discussions I remember Thomas and me talked about setting a 
divider to make sure that alt_prate <= cur_armclk_rate, so the voltage can 
stay at its current level. I haven't looked deeply into this revision, but the 
last one did exactly this.

I'll just wait until you all decide what the best solution is :-), but 
personally I like the concept of keeping the clock logic inside the clock 
driver, especially as this is not limited to setting the mux but also adapting 
tightly bound child clocks and this all may not fit into a generic 
implementation of a cpufreq driver.

And this is also working really nice on my rockchip platform.
