[PATCH 00/10] clk: implement clock rate protection mechanism

This Patchset is related the RFC [0] and the discussion around
CLK_SET_RATE_GATE available here [1]

The goal of this patchset is to provide a way for consumers to inform the
system that they depend on the rate of the clock source and can't tolerate
other consumers changing the rate or causing glitches.

With this series there is 3 use-case:
 - the provider is not protected: nothing changes
 - the provider is protected by only 1 consumer (and only once), then only
   this consumer will be able to alter the rate of the clock, as it is the only
   one depending on it.
 - If the provider is protected more than once, or by the provider itself, the rate
   is basically locked.

Changes since RFC:
 - s/clk_protect/clk_rate_protect
 - Request rework around core_nolock function
 - Add clk_set_rate_protect
 - Reword clk_rate_protect and clk_unprotect documentation
 - Add few comments to explain the code
 - Add 2 last patches to fix users of CLK_SET_RATE_GATE

The last 2 patches provide the same functionnality for providers themself by
fixing the issue with CLK_SET_RATE_GATE.

This was tested with the audio use case mentioned in [1]
