For most clocks in the clock tree, there's no need to recalculate the
clock rate and the downstream clock rates when the clock is enabled
or disabled. clk->rate is not adjusted; the rate is simply considered to
be 0 if the clock is disabled.

There is one type of OMAP clock, though, that this may not hold true for:
DPLLs. Currently, the "disabled" state for DPLLs can mean one of two
general modes: stop (in which the DPLL output rate is zero), or bypass (in
which the DPLL output rate is the bypass clock rate). RECALC_ON_ENABLE is
intended to fix the latter case.

As we've discussed before, this may be better implemented as a reparent
operation; but there is a twist: DPLLs can autoidle (if programmed to do
so). In this case the DPLL is considered to be enabled, but is actually
emitting a bypass rate or is stopped. The OMAP hardware automatically
restarts the DPLL when a downstream clock is enabled, with no notification
to the operating system. So some type of RECALC_ON_ENABLE logic may need
to stay.

Indeed, this should be fixed.

Indeed, this also needs to be fixed.

Yep.

The goal of this part of the change was to eliminate some duplicate code.
This rate_table walk had previously existed in several other places in the
code with minor variations; the intention here was to combine those into a
common function.

I'm happy with this change - it looks good to me,
