[RFC,PATCH 2/3] clk: Generic support for fixed-rate clocks

Because the drivers using this clock don't know that it's a fixed clock.

For example, a uart needs to know the rate of its clock source, so that it can
set its internal divisors to get a valid baud rate. The uart driver will query
the input rate using clk_get_rate(). The driver still needs to call
clk_enable/clk_prepare/etc, because on some systems it may have a switchable
clock.

Thanks. Makes sense.
