You can't just request the programming interface clock directly like on other SoCs?
On Qualcomm platforms, particularly so with the more recent ones, some
clocks are managed by various remote cores. Half of what the interconnect
infra does on these SoCs is telling one such core to change the internally
managed clock's rate based on the requested bw.
