Moving it to here reflects better that we need to enable it when accessing the
registers.

Another reason is weak, perhaps.  We've got an unannounced new SoC(not yet get
upstreamed).  It has a LCDIF embedded.  The pixel clock(host->clk) and the axi
clock are derived from a same clock gate.  And, the clock gate is defined with
the flag CLK_SET_RATE_GATE, which means it must be gated across rate change.
So, we need to move it beneath clk_set_rate() for the pixel clock sooner or
later.

This is to make sure the clock disable order is exactly reversed, comparing to
the clock enable order.

We need this check here to make sure the axi clock reference count is no greater
than 1.  Looking at the context of mxsfb_set_par(), mxsfb_restore_mode() and
mxsfb_probe() closely, the check is not necessary.  Regarding mxsfb_shutdown(),
since the system is shutting down, I assume the reference count is not that
important.
