If the rcg is read-only then it shouldn't need a .freq_tbl (the
.recalc_rate() works without it). These clocks have one for some reason.

Maybe we should also set .flags = CLK_GET_RATE_NOCACHE to ensure that
clk_get_rate() doesn't return some stale value? Although I'm not sure if
it's enough to set it here or if it would need to be set on all child
clocks as well.

Thanks,
