Hrm, I was actually not thinking of adding a new device tree property.
I was thinking that we'd _always_ call "force" for
"assigned-clock-rates".  Really the check in clk_set_rate() is an
optimization (right?), not for correctness.  Thus it should be OK to
bypass it at bootup.

Actually, maybe even better: for all clocks you should always skip the
"clk_get_rate()" check the first time through.  Then you'd ensure that
you aren't using some default or firmware-assigned clock settings.
AKA, something like this untested patch:

diff --git a/drivers/clk/clk.c b/drivers/clk/clk.c
index 59d853d..56db138 100644
--- a/drivers/clk/clk.c
+++ b/drivers/clk/clk.c
@@ -1618,9 +1618,10 @@ int clk_set_rate(struct clk *clk, unsigned long rate)
        /* prevent racing with updates to the clock topology */
        clk_prepare_lock();

-       /* bail early if nothing to do */
-       if (rate == clk_get_rate(clk))
+       /* bail early if nothing to do; linux should always set the rate once */
+       if (rate == clk_get_rate(clk) && clk->did_set_rate)
                goto out;
+       clk->did_set_rate = true;

        if ((clk->flags & CLK_SET_RATE_GATE) && clk->prepare_count) {
                ret = -EBUSY;

I'm ducking now in case Mike decides to throw a tomato at me.
