[PATCH v2 00/11] clk: implement clock rate protection mechanism

[Jerome Brunet]

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.

The last 2 patches provide the same functionnality for providers themself
by fixing CLK_SET_RATE_GATE (enforce clock gating along the tree)

qcom, at91 and ux500 are the heaviest users of this flag. If anybody having
one these platform could try this series, I would help build confidence
that they are relying on CLK_SET_RATE_GATE being broken.

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

Changes since v1:
 - Add patch 4: Check if the rate would actually change before continuing, a
   possibly in clk_set_rate.

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