Michal,

after thinking about it, I will re-add the power-on on rate change.
Not because I
want to have a workaround for not using clk_prepare_enable() before
clk_set_rate(),
but clkout will remain disabled if you set clock-frequency by DT.
There will be no
superfluous writes to i2c resisters anyway, because clk-si5351 is
using regmap-i2c
that takes care of caching.
