I think when all this was discussed alongside the clk_prepare/clk_unprepare
stuff, that yes, it was decided that clk_set_rate() was non-atomic only.

And yes, that is most definitely the case, because the first thing
clk_set_rate() does is take a mutex - which will trigger a might_sleep()
complaint if ever called from an atomic context.
