You have to prepare_enable() before using get_rate(). Else, it is not
guaranteed to work:
"clk_get_rate - obtain the current clock rate (in Hz) for a clock source.
This is only valid once the clock source has been enabled."
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/linux/clk.h#L269

It may work right now because the clock is enabled elsewhere. But that
may change at some point in time (we had the issue on at91).
