The notifiers in the clk framework might be a better place for this than
just simply hacking the logic into the .set_rate callback.

I haven't looked at the definition of hb_voltage_change but does the
call graph make any clk api calls?  Are you talking over i2c to a
regulator?  If so then you'll probably hit the same reentrancy problem I
hit when trying to make a general solution.
