Logically it makes sense to always propagate the rate-change request up
to the parent for a fixed-factor clock if we desire to change its rate.
However, I wonder if doing this for all users of fixed-factor-clock in
DT is safe? Some users may be counting on it not changing.

There are 397 instances of fixed-factor-clock in .dts[i] today, so this
change worries me a bit.

An alternative would be to pass in the flags you want, somehow. For the
clock you are trying to fix, is it inside of the SoC or external? If it
is internal, and part of a larger clock controller driver, is this for
the legacy style allwinner clock drivers that put everything in DT? If
not, it would better to initialize it statically and shove this flag
into the struct clk_init_data storage.

Mike
