Yeah, it's what that whole discussion has been about, but my
understanding is that clk_get_rate() (and thus .recalc_rate) don't
necessarily return the actual output rate in hardware, but the rate that
would be output if the clock was enabled.

Anyway, I've ping'd Stephen on IRC to see if he can clarifies this, we
won't have an issue on this before then I'm afraid :)
