The idea is that in the next patch I want to bail out early if we're not changing the
rate (after clk_round_rate()) because I also don't want to re-run tuning in that
case. Since the rate is not guaranteed to be cached (even though I think most clock
providers don't set the NO_CACHE flag), I went this way. Anyways, this is minor so I
can stick to clk_get_rate() if you prefer.
