I also had a thought about the notifier for pclk, but wasn't sure if
it's really worthwhile right now since there is no real use-case and
it's not obvious when such case will materialize. So, I'd say that
solution is correct but incomplete.

I'll make a v4 with the notifier, since you're asking about it. Thanks
for the review!
