clk: samsung: clk-pll: Add support for pll_309

This commit adds support for the pll_309 used in the Exynos5515 SoC, defining
the PLL characteristics which are handled similarly to pll_531x.

[Severity: Medium]
This isn't a bug, but the commit message only mentions adding support for the
new pll_309 type, while this code changes the allocation semantics of the
rate_table across the entire driver, switching from a flexible array member
to a separate pointer allocation. 

Could this architectural refactoring be split into a separate patch or
documented in the commit message?

[Severity: High]
If a clock is registered with an empty rate table containing only the zero
terminator, kmemdup_array() is called with a count of 0 earlier in this
function and returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR rather than NULL.

Since ZERO_SIZE_PTR is not NULL, this check evaluates to false, which
incorrectly assigns the full operations instead of the safe min_ops fallback.

If samsung_pll_determine_rate() is subsequently called, it skips its loop
because rate_count is 0, and attempts to access rate_table[-1]:

samsung_pll_determine_rate() {
    ...
    req->rate = rate_table[i - 1].rate;
}

Since rate_table is ZERO_SIZE_PTR, will this result in an out-of-bounds
memory read?
