I was thinking about this. I think the common clock fwk should let the 
set_parent ops "return" the rate of the clock in addition to passing the 
rate of the parent in.

Say this is a divider clock and some one changes the parent. The cached 
"rate" of the clock in the clock fwk is no longer correct. So, the clock 
fwk should also add a "*new_rate" param to set parent ops.

Thanks,
