That would be the HW version of never disabling the clock output.
I never really tried the property, does it work as expected?

The SW version of such a property would involve CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED
and enabling all requested clock outputs on probe().

If above HW property already works, I think it should be enough.

IIRC, clk API does check if requested rate and current rate match
already. If they do, it does not request the same rate again.
