I've moved of support to the end of the series

I can't really test things any more as the hardware has been returned
to the client and I'm technically off the project (and awaiting this
email address to be closed down).

Could this either be solved by the clk_rate_exclusive_get() or adding
a clock change notifier? Either way I would prefer this to be work for
another patch.

I'll send v8 out later as it has had some re-works due to moving
things around.

Thank you for the review.
