Seems over-engineering to me, but I can explore this path if it's the best
route to follow.

It did but wasn't generic enough to take the new clock path introduced
in the new SoCs.

I'm afraid this won't fix the problem since CCF won't set the clock again
if the rate is already ok in it's cache, we'd still need to save the divider
value and restore it after the reset as I did on this exact patch.

It does, when clk_set_rate() is called, the datarate field would be the
same as after the previous call.
