Confused, do you really mean enable -> set_rate -> disable? Because you
can't set clocks when they are enabled?

Well, to be honest, this is all is not very nice due to mxs
restrictions. I chose this approach because this is the common pattern
in all other clocks. There might be a better way of handling this, but
then we'd need to adapt all other clocks as well. What we definately
should not have is one kind of handling the 'already enabled' case for a
few clocks and another kind for others.
