BTW, this is even documented in the reference manual---a bit at least:
The description for CCM_CS2CDR has for example:

	20-18 enfc_clk_pred
	  Divider for enfc clock pred divider.
	  NOTE: Divider should be updated when output clock is gated.

I patched the imx clk driver to not allow changes to any clock that
have this note. The nand_mxs driver then changes enfc_clk_podf which
doesn't have this note and still hangs occasionally.

I agree, this is something the clock driver should be aware of. Still
more as not only the nand clk is affected.

I wonder how this should be done though. This would imply that a clk can
somehow determine its children. And this is not static as for example
clko could be a child of enfc_clk_pred. And I think we need to recurse
because if a direct child is a mux that cannot be disabled and so the
gates below the mux must be disabled instead.  Alternatively we must
provide a list L of clks to such a clk A such that if A is changed the
clks in L can be disabled first (maybe after a check that the affected
clk is really an descendant of A).

And we'd need a function different to clk_disable that hard disables the
clk independent of its enable count. (Or the change function of A knows
about the interna of all clocks in L and can just disable them.) In
Linux this might be possible with clk notifiers, but I don't know for
sure.

I didn't find an idea yet that makes this all look less evil, so
comments are welcome.

@Fabio, in a different end of this thread you wrote that you want to fix
this for Linux. Did you already address this?

Best regards
Uwe
