I now recalled what was the initial reason for this patch because
happened to bump into the problem once again.. it's really problematic
to call clk_get_rate() with the disabled preemption because some clk
notifier handler may block (EMC) and cause reschedule, hence the CCF
'prepare' mutex is kept locked during of CPUIDLE driver entering LP2
state and thus causing system lockup, since scheduling with the disabled
interrupts obviously won't work well.

So this patch actually is needed to be applied or some other solution
have to be provided. Since PCLK rate currently isn't altering anywhere
in the kernel, I'd suggest to imply apply this series. Please let me
know if you have any objections. I may re-iterate this patch with an
extended commit message, describing the resolved problem in a more
details, if necessary.
