Usually that shouldn't be a problem. If your clock chip requires it to be 
disabled in order to be reprogrammed than the CLK_SET_RATE_GATE flag should 
be set. This will tell the core to disable the clock before changing it.

I don't think this works. For a fixed clock clk_round_rate() will return the 
fixed rate rather than an error. I tried the patch and even though I have a 
fixed clock the constraints are no longer set.

There is unfortunately no good way to enumerate which frequencies are 
supported by a clock other than just calling round_rate for all possible rates.

I think the best way to implement this for now is to try e.g. 32000 * 128, 
44100 * 128, 48000 * 128 and then check if clk_round_rate returns the 
expected rate and if it does set up a rate constraint for that rate.
